Jay,
I believe Herb was offlist when this "confrontation" began and I don't
think he knows what this is about or why "he who's name we do not speak"
gets blocked in posts. Transposing letters in the name of the site seems to
work in getting messages through.
BTW, I had the exact same experience with "Suzie" in the beginning too.
(Big Surprise)
The link Herb is trying to communicate is www.bustjrits.com/cars/ugh1.htm
(fix the transposed letters)
