DAVID,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND NOTE.

I DID NOT DIRECT MY COMMENTS TOWARD YOU. I WAS DEEPLY DISTURBED BY THE DIRECTION THAT THIS THREAD WAS TAKING.

I'VE SEEN A LOT OF "DUMB" QUESTIONS ON THIS FORUM. MANY OF THEM FROM ME. I HAVE ALWAYS FELT THAT I, OR ANYONE ELSE, COULD GET A FAIR , HONEST AND POLITE RESPONSE. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE.

THE GUYS ON CC HAVE ALWAYS AMAZED ME WITH THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND HELPFULL - FRIENDLY ATTITUDE. I WOULD SURE HATE TO SEE THIS DIMINISHED. THE THREAD WAS DETERIORATING INTO A "PEEING" CONTEST AND I FELT THAT I WAS BEING CHALLENGED TO JUMP IN. MY REMARKS WERE DIRECTED TOWARD MYSELF AS MUCH AS ANYONE ELSE FOR THE POST THAT I DIDN'T "POST".

WE ALL LOVE OUR CARS - MAYBE FOR DIFFERENT REASONS. PATIENCE AND TOLERANCE ARE ALWAYS APPRECIATED FROM THE AUTO "PROS" BY US AMATEURS WHO'S PROFESSIONALISM AND EXPERTISE MAY BE EQUALLY HIGH BUT IN A DIFFERENT AREA.

DAVID, PLEASE BE ASSURED THAT NO OFFENCE WAS TAKEN AND CERTAINLY NONE WAS INTENDED.

HAVE A REALLY GREAT DAY,

BLACKJACK
