The crosspost is actually relevent to all the newsgroups - even though
it may not seem so initially.
The automotive groups are clearly relevent.
The gdead group is relevent because the Grateful Dead fans tended to
travel in large yellow commercial vehicles.
The cannabis newsgroup was an observation in irony. Here you have a
toxic fuel additive - sulphur - that is so toxic it is implicated in
hundreds of thousands of deaths and the government has a rather
unhurried approach to getting rid of it - even allowing 20 percent of
diesel for the next 4 years to be the highly toxic form. On the other
hand you have the cannabis - which the government's own figures show
that virtually nobody ever dies from it - and yet it is the cannabis
users and sellers who are the public enemies and arrested and
incarcerated.
I supposed that was not an obviously implicit point.
I did not think anybody would notice the crosspost.
Terrapin Station is a nice place.
Happy ULSD day!

Especially for me, I have 7 mercedes sedans sitting on blocks on the
lawn in front of my trailer, I was desperate for someone to come along
and help me get at least one of them running. One day soon I might be
able to buy my beer by the case.

Why do you have 7 non running MB on blocks?

Ah, somebody noticed. Made my day! Thanks!
The computer set up for accessing NGs was out of commission for most of that
time. Plus I was away for best part of a week (a belle Paris...lovely
journey - large compartment with comfortable table and electricity sockets,
and a bar nearby, rushing through the French countryside at 250 km/h..)
Mustn't say it too loudly here but it beats a Merc or BMW or...even a Boeing
or Airbus anyday...
