I'd love to call a truce. I understand what you mean completely about having 
tons of messages going through your box. This was quite a while ago, back 
when both you and Jim Green were on 10v'ers, well before Jim had the 
intercooler that would make a Peterbuilt jealous. You, Jim, and I used to 
message back and fourth on a regular basis. Jim was going to run a 
MegaSquirt on his 90 when you offered him a good deal on becoming sort of a 
"beta tester" for your stuff. Jim and I still talk now and then.

Of course I do know about e-mails being easy to misinterpret, but it was 
sort of a direct thing. Who knows, maybe your dog had just died or something 
;-), but it was said. Actually going on what was said about Jim with 
MegaSquirt, I believe that is where it all started. A topic came up on this 
very list about MS. You and I had a 'violent agreement' (tm Bob D'Amato) 
about sequential injection, then it escalted to the final e-mail about my 
project.

Well if it gives you any indication, back when we used to talk I had such an 
appreciation for you and your car that I registered '5000tq.com', to follow 
the same lines as '80tq.com'. I tried to convince Jim to get '90tq.com', but 
he never bit. My website should cover what you need to know ;-).
