RE: More Torsen

["Lewis, Gary M" <Gary.Lewis@West.Boeing.com>]

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the comments.  In my original post, I kinda asked that these
types of answers to THE QUESTION be left out, at least initially.  If we
can't deduce the problem examining issue of a more technical nature, we can
start looking at what you propose, which kinda falls into the "American's
drive like wankers", or, "Them Furrigner's couldn't find their a$$e$ with a
road map and a grappling hook".  I don't plan on including this one now
(unless requested by popular demand), but hang on to it, we may eventually
need it.

Cheers,
Gary

P.S.  If anyone is interested in what REALLY happened in the McDonald's
Coffee Lawsuit, feel free to drop me a line.  What you heard isn't what
really happened...
