Guys/gals,
    This is turning into horsepooey. I'm going to uh...upset...both sides..so 
hang on..The guy who wrote the 'que had some issues..He didn't sign...so 
frreeekin' what? Does that make you doubt our vendors? No. I've had some past 
problems with the main EC vendor, but they met me half-way and I've regained 
respect for them..After all, between all of my brothers and father, we've probably 
spent $40-50K between them and all the others...
    But I don't give a rats hiney about someone's reason for selfish 
anonymity is his problem and 'privledge'.
    I've had some difficulties with the management team but they've handled 
everything professionally and well. 
    This is a CORVAIR hobby...Maybe I shoulda wrote HOBBY...
    In this time of real danger and real power struggles, ( and if you don't 
believe that you are sooo sadly out in left field) use your passions for 
something that really matters and that really might establish a substantive 
legacy... 
  I realised that if I had won the Pepsi BILLION, I would not be able to give 
the troops, just in Iraq, a $10,000 bonus. But in my single vote, I could 
influence for another 4 years perhaps the course of the country.
    Get passionate about your country..Don't take it for granted...Now...can 
we get off this worthless debate and back to "Corvair part Trivia?"

It's the American way. Guess you don't live in America.
