What the hell do you think you're doing forwarding this crap to the 
Triumph mail list?!  If I wanted this garbage, I'd hang out at junior 
high schools.  Come on, chat's fine, but let's keep it enthusiast 
related.  What's the matter, you couldn't find five friends to dump this 
stuff on?

With consternation,
