I agree completely, Douwe. Using language from TGWP, "You BASTARD! Youdirty rotten Bastard!" I think that was the coarsest thing said in thatmovie.I've been a constant subscriber to this list since its earliest days, whenit was transitioned to Matronics from Steve Eldredge's list at BYU backabout 1997. It has been a good source of information and inspiration, aswell as entertainment. The best thing about it has been the friends that Ihave made, with introductions on the list and then face-to-face meeting atBrodhead (with the exception of Kevin Purtee, whom I first met at Brodheadbefore I ever saw a post from him on the list).I know I've been guilty of posting what I thought was a humorous comment,only to find I've offended someone unintentionally (usually about a Corvair,but I should realize that broken crankshafts are nothing to laugh about.JUST KIDDING). I do try to offer advice (when asked), and encouragement -particularly to brand new builders. Mike Cuy has traditionally been theambassador of good will on this list, but lately personal issues have kepthim away. We need him back to keep us away from the dark side.So keep building, keep posting, but think about your comments before hittingSend.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia _____
