Re: DC Wrap up - LONG

Well Jon, since my letter was to the "public forum" so is my response to
you.  I was ASKED to relate to the list about what happened, and I did so.
I neither endorsed what happened by encouraging others to do so nor
"bragged" about driving that fast; I wasn't even the driver and only spoke
about the performance of the CAR.  In addition, since you have designated
yourself the "watchdog" of the list, I look forward to seeing you admonish
EACH AND EVERY PERSON who does something that is "inappropriate" in your
holy, clean living eyes.  I have no problem with what I said at all; it
seems to be ONLY YOU, Mr. Policeman.  Next time, stop being the juvenile and
address the list like an adult, in an adult manner, instead of resorting to
insults and curses.
I've grown up because I am content with what I did for both the group
(organizing the event and reporting on the event) and myself (participating
in the event), not with the speed of the car.
I have seen people get hit at 5 mph, and 105 mph.  Does this mean stay off
the road in any circumstance?  I have no problem with you saying it was
wrong to drive like that in public.  You are right.  However, both your
method of addressing me and your superior attitude are foolish.  YOU have a
much deeper, hidden problem, it seems, that has nothing to do with me.
Cheers yourself, buddy.
