Default FINALLY the Strano/JD_AMG theory CONFIRMED

So... it has been speculated for years by many that there are eerie similarities in the posts between Sam Strano and JD_AMG on this forum, leading us to believe they may be the same person. After countless denials, even to the point of harsh words being exchanged with accusers, it looks like we finally have our answer. It appears Sam slipped up and posted under the wrong account. It's unfortunate to see this from a large name and paying sponsor of this site to resort to such tactics as pretending to be someone else to garner business and re-enforce his products and way of thinking. There are 14,000+ posts between the two accounts with what appears to have an intended purpose of pumping up business and deceiving the people of this forum. This is a cheap and deceptive way to build a business. I will let the people of LS1tech be the judge on this one, but I think the answers are pretty clear.

Back when we owned 'Tech I busted a prominent company who used a second account in this manner.

Let me be the first to say, who cares. I realize this may be against the rules to have two accounts, but they aren't my rules so no ***** given. Don't see the point in bashing your competitors at this level, I mean it's bad enough we have to watch you and mwc go at it weekly.

^^^^ Exactly. Bashing your competitor doesn't reflect any better on you.

So everyone is ok with someone using a fake identity and account to promote themselves, and lying to you about it? I don't think that builds a good foundation of trust for business

+1 Sam seems to be a good guy and he's very helpful on this site.

Granted I glanced over it but I don't see how what you posted proves a damn thing. You're reaching hard, and it's childish. I also reviewed some of his other posts and don't believe it's the same person, so..........

Ummm.... NO

I PM'd JD_AMG for his opinions, and he did NOT directly send me to Strano for anything...

I credited him for being a sounding boardin an earlier post on my review thread. He was responding to that...

Mods should pin this at the top so everyone can see being childish backfires every time. I now can no longer recommend BMR suspension. What a train wreck.

Lmao wow, im flattered i made such an impression on you scumbags.
If you read the thread he mentions that we talked through pm, he was just asking general questions and advice from someone who has been around a while. Long enough to known you guys purchased umiparts.com domain name in a sad attempt to redirect traffic to your site, and after being called out on it you switched the link to ls1tech.
Mods please cross reference my account with any other account on here if you want any proof, i only have one account, run ip or whatever you want.

LOL... From post 7 in the thread in question:

I really, really appreciated the time Ramey spent with me on the phone, and my compliments to the designers of this suspension kit. Additionally, I spent some of JD-AMG's time as a neutral party to gain some perspective, and I greatly appreciate that as well.
I did NOT intend to start a **** storm, and I apologize if something came across that did.

Why is this suspension tech? BMR loses major respect from me for a pitiful attempt to discredit another vendor. Eric, you should actually be embarrassed for this.

Perhaps I jumped the gun on this. If I did, then I will be glad to apologize. Would you be willing to discuss this offline? Please call me at BMR at 813-986-9302 at your convenience and I will be glad to get this straightened out.
