"Better" is somewhat subjective

Point well taken.  I talked to the original poster, and we had a good
discussion about the pro's and con's of both the 4 cyl, and the 6 cyl.
And yes, I am new to the list, in my third week now.  I would love the
chance to meet you all at events.  Again, sorry (on my behalf) for the
immature nature of Unka and myself.  I'll try not to entertain that
logic (or illogic) again.
Thanks again.

Theron
