    Turn off caps lock (AKA cruise control for "cool"...)

    Well - he did sow the seed -


    And reaped his just reward IMHO.

    I guess that if there was any semblance of an apology for his rant(s), we could take him under our wing and nurse him through.




    Now for the spell check - hmm, looks awlrite.

    Now that food has replaced sex in my life -

    I've been waiting for this...he CERTAINLY had it coming and deserved it. But frankly the consideration and continued helpful attempts by forum members to contribute to his questions was truly amazing and speaks to the maturity of this group. More often than not, a person who presents himself like this on a forum is flamed relentlessly. Personally I hope he benefits from the whole experience and can become a constructive contributor in the future.

    I was thinkin ...

    Wouldn't a 'lectric fan conversion net him .001% mpg increase??? Rumor has it that the butt dyno indicates significant throttle response increases.

    Sorry Zeus - it had to be said.

    I can't think of a single facet of life where improvement can't be made.

    But as a group, I think amazing restraint was shown...

    Speaking only for myself, I had at least two replies composed, that never made it to the forums, before the toned down final draft was posted.

    Ain't none of us perect...OR saints...

    Besides...I wanted to feel important...
