I *have* spoken with Ross.  

He is an enthusiastic and knowledgable young man who is an Audi lover (as
are a major portion of this list).  He speaks approximately the same way he
writes - enthusiastically.    :-)

He was [still is? :-)] a internet and computer newbie and, early on, he
made a couple of newbie mistakes.  He has atoned (if that was even
necessary) for his mistakes and has shown remarkable restraint in
responding to some rather inflammatory comments from some on this list.  A
certain quote comes to mind, "Let him among you who is without sin cast the
first stone".

I have not seen the pictures of his car, but as Mike says, it's *his* car
and it's painted the way that *he* wants it.  If he likes it, then that's
enough.  If he wants passionate pink polka dots on a tiger striped
background of candy apple red and lime green that's fine by me.  [Uh, Ross,
I didn't describe it by accident, did I?  :-)]

I agree with Mike.  It's time for hassling Ross to be over.
