Re: AUDI IS AUDI and thats it

Ummmm, Ross, ol' rutababa, could Yer Kindly Ol' Unka Bart have a word in private
with you...?

While many of us are delighted indeed, to have an extra copy or two of each 
day's digest, especially when leavened by the added value of your contribution 
to one point or the other buried somewhere in that digest; it is my sad duty to 
inform you that sending an entire digest unrequested back to the entire list, is
bad form.  Yes indeedy, *quite* bad form at that!

The first time you did this, Yer Kindly Ol' Unka Bart says to himself, 
"Hmmm...bad form, send the list a complete digest, but doubtless an accident." 
as he hits the "d" key and put's the incident completely out of his mind (yeah, 
yeah.  I know.  So's yer ol' man.)

The second time you did this, the old kumquat mutters to himself (yes, quite 
right, I *do* need competent psychiatric help, but then, that's not the issue 
here) in mild irritation, "hmmm...I wonder if this is the same clueless twit as 
the last time...but...Nah, couldn't be, this guy's a *tuner*, he'd have a *clue*
if anyone did..." as he hits the old "d" key yet again.

Now Ross, old chum, being an Audi enthusiast establishes that, as a minimum, you
are a man of rare and finely-honed taste and discrimination.  Being a member of 
this list proves further that you are a fine fellow, a paragon of perspicuity, a
man, shall we say, among MEN!  

Alas, but for the evident lack of a *clue*, you would be the *entire* package! 
So, in the interest of brotherhood, Yer Kindly Ol' Unka Bart will share his 
with you.  (come in a little closer here, this is not for publication...)

The proper way to respond is to EDIT the freakin' digest down to the actual 
*point* to which you are responding, and *ELIMINATE* the rest.

There, that wasn't so hard now, was it...?  And just think of the many benefits:
increased credibility as a tuner, master of difficult maters mechanical, and as 
a bonus, we'll all love you ever so much in the morning, too!

Not to mention the joy of avoiding having several hundred avid audi enthusiasts 
fill your own mail box with *multiple* copies of *unedited* responses to *each* 
of your unedited responses...(shudder, not a pretty thought, that...)
