Art,
Was my earlier post that terribly worded? You are the second person to
send a similar "correction". I thought I had stated that the Mustang
Sprang from the loins of the Falcon. At least that is what I had
intended to say. In reading your excerpt, it is easy to see how that
can be misinterpreted.
Anyway I guess it is just a matter of semantics!
Regards,
Joe
