Sorry I didn't also include a complete history of my posting here, my
name, the name of all my friends here, their posting histories, the
various topics we've discussed over the years, so that vegetative
lurkers such as yourself would be able to understand a post that to you
was apparently cryptic.

Isn't there some Usenet rule against letting ngs be reposted elsewhere,
such as carforums.net?  I hate to think how many other sheep are peeping
in here.  They're not worthy unless they have something to say.
