Total $@!#head Administration

Wed Jun 16 10:09:12 EDT 2004

AGREED, I think everyone who wants to has had their input, Plus the topic
only really is applicable to the US listers, who granted, probably make up
for over half the list, but still makes fairly uninteresting reading to the
rest of us. What ever happened to the 120+ mails a day going through this
list?? Recently its been between 30-40. And I used to take an interest in
80% of the 120 mails.....
I think it is valid to have a little off topic rant, with people you kinda
know, but for it to turn into an all out debate is a bit much, plus you know
after a while it will be a flame war.
So
Anyone want to discuss Torsen? Or Torque wrench extensions? Or even the
fastest colour?
Im up for any of the above today....
Actually... where does every other sock go to?

Allow me a sec or explain more on what I meant. I was agreeing that the
loss of lives was more important than a radio, but not with the
sentiment that giving up my rights for the sake of security is
acceptable.  I will NOT give up any rights for this so-called safety.
The gov't can have my rights after they pull my gun from my cold dead
hand. :)

I'd much rather have the NEQ be down one freaking radio then any
American be down one brother,sister,mother,father, etc.

If you don't like it, move.
