Allen, just because in your neighborhood yelling is a negative thing, in my
neighborhood yelling is considered good, but out putting out one groups
(your) social ideas of right and wrong are considered very VERY negative.
we generally would keep it off a mail list and flame each other
individually.
but my next-door neighbor said "FLUPKE SHUT UP...WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT John
Deere tractors and fertilizer spreaders anyway.
He also said he stands behind all his work. (he repairs fertilizer
spreaders).
