Norman,

I want to thank you so very much for all the effort you went through to
create your:
 http://www.UnitedTigers.com web site. It was a very entertaining put-on
of our:
 http://www.TigersUnited.com web site, right down to the "look and feel".

At first, I too was "dyslexic" and read right past the name alteration.
When I finally tried it out they way you had stated the URL, I was
amazed to see a parody of our TigersUnited site, right down to the black
hot link banners, the waving flags, the header script, logo and title.

I didn't understand it at first glance, then I went through the content.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a Parody within a Parody. You must
have given this some thought. Here was a complete section on NON
manufacturer's accessories never sold by a dealer as an authorized
Rootes part. Hard tops (which I have from my Alpine days), "Tiger"
lettered air cleaners. A virtual catalog on non-stock goodies never put
together before.

It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I guess
I am pretty amused. Especially since there isn't even a hint of sarcasm,
or negativeness about the whole thing.

I liked it so much, I would recommend the Tiger list look at your site
and learn about the non-Rootes options. I am also going to list your
site on our Links "Online Resources" page so others can find it, when
the original e-mail is lost.

I understand why you choose the "dyslexic" ploy, based on the name
twist, and am pleased to have created a site that deserves your special
sense of humor and the effort it took to create "United Tigers" parody
(8-) 

Thank you for an entertaining evening, and for your obviously thorough
study of our web site
 http://www.TigersUnited.com

to come up with your Saturday Night Live version:
 http://www.UnitedTigers.com

A real Hoot!

Congratulations, and best wishes,

Steve

BTW: If you are not going to keep the site active, as I know the expense
involved, I would like your permission to include your material in our
LAT section as "Norman Miller's Un-LAT section".
