Ah yes, I distinctly remember deleting quite a few digests without
reading them when I saw that most of the postings were about oil...

For those who are interested, the article on the web was reprinted from
Road Rider magazine.
The URL is http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/2195/snakeoil.html

And an impassioned plea so that we might not start this whole stupid
thread over again:

PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE don't start that thread again!!!

No one who argues in this sort of thing ever gets convinced, and the
people who asked the origional question leave just as confused, if not
moreso, than they were when they started.

Thanks
