While I think his choice of words may have been a bit out of line, he is correct: the skip shift "feature" has been around for years on GM manuals. It took a $25 resistor kit from SLP, 5 minutes of work, and blam - no more skip shift. 2 minutes of googling could have solved his conundrum.

Not everyone knows this, but it pays to actually RESEARCH a car before you draw conclusions. I think a perfect example of this, is saying the 370Z is a track star right from the factory because it pulls .98g on the skid and has good power/big brakes. But, oh, theres that pesky overheating problem after 10-20 minutes of HPDE...well, guess I shouldn't get the 370Z!
