Re: Anyone up for an oil seminar?

Dear Audi-O-Philes-

I've gotten a lot of encouragement for this project,and I'm going to go
ahead with it. The document itself won't be posted to the list, though.
I'll send it to the archives or make it available by request rather than
post it to the list. I will, of course, announce the availabilty of the
document(s) on the list and rec.auto. It may be a while before it's ready.
Watch for the announcement...


Thanks,
Rob
