NAC!! Fwd: Re: flate rate.

[Chris Dyer]

Dunno why, love this stuff. (not you Brett, but the msg's leading up to 
this) Normally I'm anti; keep it off the list, etc. But this happened so 
fast and furious, it's just too damn funny.

Remember folks: there's a fine line between sarcastic and jerk-o; and when 
it's written instead of spoken, it may be taken the wrong way.  So please, 
judicious use of ;) and :) or ;>) would be helpful.  If you ARE intending to 
be jerk-o, please keep it off the list and send it privately. (except to 
entertain me)

MAC: agree w/Brett et al. Go to an independent audi/h2o vw shop. You'll be 
glad you did.
