Re: open letter to rec.autos.makers.jeep+******
You pokin' at ossifers? I know they gave me a labotomy at OTS in May, but
I'd swear that was a poke. ;-)
Strange -- I never knew why people said what they did about officers until I
became one myself. Now it all makes sense...

ive been here since '99 (lurked until '00)and ive _never_ seen bill
"flame" anyone. bill is brutally honest and even though ive been on
the recieving end of it more than once, ive grown to appreciate his
direct honesty. id just bet that if you were busted down on the trail
somewhere (no matter what you were driving) that bill ------ would be
amongst the first to stop and offer his assitance and that to me is
worth a hell of a lot more than usenet etiquette.
