RE: Netiquette

Gentlemen:  Well said! 

I only joined this particular group two weeks a go today.
At first, while reading  everything (including the archives on the
web site). I saw practially NO hot air, quite a relief from the vast
majority of groups & listservs.  But lately, I have had to completely
avoid messages with certain senders and subject lines.  That's
ricockulous.  

If there's more bile in your blood than gasoline, perhaps this ain't the
place for you, because while you're arguing, our cars are aging.  Before
you know it, we're pushing up daisies.  Life's too short.
  
Please, please, let's get back to the cars.
