Do forgive yer kindly ol' Unka Bart for evesdropping, but I couldn't help
overhearing your plaintive whin... er, cry.

Do allow me to set the record straight, once and for all.  Watch carefully
now, (Look, nothin' up my sleeve...) here is the definitive answer to your
question.

No.

The list is full of nice, knowledgable, friendly and *very* helpful people
who own and love Audis; some of whom own or love (or both) other marques as
well.  But one thing that the list has a very definite paucity of, is
a-holes. I can assure you unequivocally that the list is not *full* of
a-holes.

There's me, of course.

And now, you, naturally; that goes without saying.

But, alas, that number, small as it assuredly is, is  really quite
sufficient to fully meet Q-list requirements in that department.

And now that you have finally arrived, there are no longer any open
vacancies in that department.

But why, might I politely enquire, do you ask?  Did you have a fellow
asshole that you wanted to invite to enjoy the benefits of the list?  We'd
be happy to have your friend, but regrettably, due to the fact that we
currently have no vacancies in that department, either you, or your friend,
will have to fill one of the many "Good Guy Regular Lister" vacancies.

I know it's a tough decision to make, but there you have it.  Either you,
or s/he has got to straighten up and fly right.  And frankly, and please
don't take offense at this, Bryon, ol' Kumquat, I simply do not believe you
have what it takes to be a *real* a-hole, over the long haul.  Might yer
kindly ol' unka Bart suggest that you take one of those other vacancies,
and leave that a-hole slot for someone better qualified, in that department?

And thank you for asking, it's always a treat to do something nice for a
fellow lister!

Yer Kindly ol' Unka Bart
Designated List A-hole
