re: 5KcsTQ Cloaking Device

[Phil and Judy Rose <pjrose@servtech.com>]

Whaaat is this--some kinda SWMBO propaganda? Insurance company
misinformation campaign? AARP initiation rite? Ain't you aware, Mr.
Echelberger, that self-restraint has been unfashionable on this planet for
quite some time now? Cruise control set at the speed limit? Damn! With
behavior like this I wouldn't be surprised if you're actually a...Vulcan.

You may think you can get away with that insidious Klingon Cloaking
technology, but--eventually--testosterone will prevail (you Vulcans _do_
have testosterone, don't ya?). Or, maybe you ain't no Vulcan at all; maybe
you're one a them Audi Crash-Dummy Choirboy eunuchs. Yeh, that's it. (I
always wondered how them 'droids actually drove a car when they didn't have
a brick wall in front of them.)

Anyway, good post! Self-restraint is admirable--unless you're ahead of me
and I can't get around! ;-) Indeed I have followed your example whenever my
speeding points get to a certain level, but I can never manage to persist
for more than about 327 miles. Hope you can do even better than that.
