I love a good chat about off-topics. However, it can be really
irritating to some list members. If we agree to use the term "non-LBC"
or something like that in the subject line, then it would be very easy
for any member to simply put a filter on their e-mail and never have to
see anything other than oil-filters and wishbones coming from the list.
Frankly, I'd find it a little dull without some of the generally
well-mannered discussion off-topic, but to each their own.

How true. I'd like to deviate from the subject of Triumphs just long
enough to point out that the operative word in that quote is "airbags".
Indeed, it is an airbag-ish subject. Airbags rarely contribute anything
useful, which is why intelligent discussion between reasonable people
should be encouraged. The operative words in that last sentence are
"intelligent" and "reasonable". One would also think that "informed" is
a prerequisite. Perhaps this is not the place for an airbag replacement
(my GT6 doesn't have an airbag), but given that we are all reasonable
and somewhat technically-knowledgeable, it should certainly be possible
without inciting a cyberspace riot.
"Roseanna, it's not global warning. It's global warming."
"Huh? What? Oh, that's very different. Nevermind."
