If it hasn't had a GOOD tuneup than this is the place to start. Plugs
(Champions), wires, pcv (check the pcv hose too), fuel filt. etc. Look too
for any error codes and correct them. It should than run well again.

Big Bertha Thing memoriam

Tony died raising his best friends family,
His wife needed two helpers, his poor heart and him.
Carer, postman, welder and domino player.
RAF aircraft fitter at Battle of Britain and El Alamain.
Outboxed a voortrecker at middleweight.
Raised trade union branch president and
National officer of voluntary .org
Taught me to keep the faith,
Mend my bicycle and trigonometry.
His story is ended, but not yet finished.

Big Bertha Thing filter

On sci.astro I just had a look at Xnews killfile.(14/7/01)
There are one or two problems.
1. Free NNTP server access is a Warez activity.
2. PGP probably has a CIA back door.
3. Bertha subject filter will be valid for the duration.
4. NTK.net suggests killfile needs to be too big.
5. 301 files most wanted list is represented by precious few.
6. Killfile is part of the problem, not the solution.
7. NTK.net advocates invitation only filter.
8. NTK.net regrets the victims whose innocent postings are deleted.
9. Xnews is free and written by Luu Tran. (news.software.readers)
10. Filter is two-edged sword. (censorship and persecution)
11. Linux type collaboration is worst case scenario.
12. For solution see Big Bertha Thing format,as follows:-

Big Bertha Thing archive

When is an archive not an archive?
When they let the book-burners in.
1. Google took over Dejanews newsgroups usenet archive of 17 years.
2. From day one, no cross-postings were allowed. (One newsgroups only.)
3. OU lecturer refuses to read any posting to more than two newsgroups.
4. Now Google have added a book-burner option, to any newsgroup postings
    found. (Abuse button)
5. Drexel recently took over Mathsforum.org maths newsgroups archive.
6. This was complete with on-site moderated replies, to maths postings.
7. They then replaced moderator with a book-burner.
8. All Big Bertha Thing postings linked to by my site were deleted,
    bar one. (Some were moderated replies.)
9. This one is 800 line table, which was truncated, without full table option.
10. Retroactive archive deletions fail to take into account, recent postings
     ennumerating corporate USA denial of service attacks on newsgroup
     users, which were on topic.
