OK, just noticed something that I missed earlier. I did not see your
attached link for the JPG file of people holding you down. OK now the jokes
on me because I did not see the link, I assumed you were being your usual
cranky "real Jeep" A*s. Oh well, I'll have to move on and give you hell on
some other subject.
