The following is a full record of all the emails Mr. Chudzinski has sent me. Curiously, he seemed to want this. In one of his more recent emails(after a direct physical threat) he said, "Make sure you post exactly what you mean by my abusive e-mails." Well, sure. All emails are in original, unedited format, pasted straight from the emails. Warning: some of the language is rather vulgar.
Oh, and since this whole thing started, I've emailed the quattro list asking to hear about cases where people have recieved nasty emails from Tom. In no particular order(edited slightly to fit in a list format, no words changed etc):

One has been >in my S6 with absolutely no problems over several years. Brett wrote: However, I agree..they can get royally stuck in there. I once had to use a 3 foot breaker bar to get mine loose. I promptly smashed my knuckles into the driveway when it gave. Owwwww. Anyway, the Fumoto valve is leaking around the threads...(sigh)... B ___________________________________________________________ Using a new gasket each time, using the proper size/type wrench, and, learning how to properly tighten a bolt will solve this problem. That's what makes sense! Enjoy your cars! Tom Chudzinski

My bet, its because you don't have a clue what you are doing! Tom Chudzinski P.S. I don't publish this publicly, but I KNOW it privately!
From: "EPIFORM" <EPIFORM@msn.com> To: <brett@cloud9.net> Subject: Evans Coolant NPG+ Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 09:38:16 -0800 X-OriginalArrivalTime: 29 Nov 2001 17:35:47.0785 (UTC) FILETIME=[47FBA390:01C178FC] Status: The Big Baby is overdue for a coolant change, and with winter approaching, figured now was the time to do it. I also noticed one day that the gurgling noise coming from the engine has returned. Grrrr. Well, I'm wandering around the net using Google, checking into Evans yet again, but everything points to the stuff being just too thick. S-cars can't use the stuff at all, supposedly the pre-C4 cars have big enough passageways in the radiator. Still, it's not confidence-inspiring that Evans recommends new radiators+pumps with the NPG. Ah, no. Well, lo and behold, Evans has come out with a new version, NPG+. _________________________________________________________ Here we go again. What's wrong with the OEM coolant specified by the factory? In a properly maintained Audi cooling system, it works without problems and its cheaper than Evans coolant. (by the way, the OEM coolant is flammable too!) Do you really think that the Audi factory engineers read "advertising data" to get their information (like you do) before they write specifications which will be used to build 100,000's if not 1,000,000's of cars? They don't. They don't specify Evans coolant for a damn good reason(s). If you use it, you'll find out why. Tom Chudzinski Audi is in COMPLETE disagreement with you. Eric Fletcher warned you, Marc Swanson gave you a good recommendation, now I'm warning you. What does it take to get through your thick skull? Jeeeze. Write me back after you have successfully made the coolant conversion and driven about 50,000 trouble free miles. Other than that, don't bother!

Can't complain, he's immensely qualified for the job; charming personality, humble, polite, and a degree in diplomacy, too. He always keeps his messages short, letting us know how long-winded we are, -never- quotes entire message bodies when he does so, because, after all, he's concerned about message length. I just -love- being insulted(and instructed on what is appropriate content) on the very list I've run for, oh, 3-4 years now, not to mention having my polite requests to change his tone mocked. Oh, and by the way, I have spotted, since I bought my car, a total of about 4 200q20vs(not counting ones at meets): -black 200q20v sedan in Boston, mass pike, getting off at the newton ramp, westbound -pearl 200q20v wagon, excellent shape, eastbound, pike, around the weston SP barracks. Waved. Owner was too busy talking on phone and looking cool. -Tom's Silver Ghost. Spotted on the way home from Mt Washington this year, headed northbound on 93. 160mph differential didn't allow time for a wave :-) Followed up with an email to him, he never noticed us(jeez, some Audi guy, not seeing a 200q20v, 5kcstqa, TT roadster, etc all in caravan, bah) -the most interesting "spot" was in traffic by the Alst/Cambr. exit, when I spotted a fellow lister. This was discovered during an inter-car conversation while rolling in heavy traffic..."hey, nice 200q20v!" "thanks, the same!" "I run a list for owners of these cars." "Yeah, I know, I'm on it!" :-) All were in perfect running condition to my knowledge, and needed no roadside assistance(besides, I'm a gentleman, I only stop to help ladies.) B >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Brent: Pull you head out of your ass. Your problem is that you think you know something about cars and Audis. (you don't) That's why you have so many problems with your cars that you can't fix. Those of us who know a little about cars aren't impressed in the least by little prick kids like you. (even if you run a website) Go ahead, say more idiotic shit. That won't help you! It will make you look like a bigger idiot, though! My suggestion to you, shut your fucking mouth, start listening and learning! Tom Chudzinski
