FHammett,
I'll just sit back and listen for my answer, while conducting a search
for the delete key.... amazing little gizmo... allows me to pass by
things that don't interest me. Try it... you'll like it.
Concerning your contributions, whether they be informative,
heartwarming, historical, technical in nature, issues with
organizations.... what? when? where?
Sure we get off on tangents occasionally... sometimes more often than
not during the bleak winter non-race months. And yes, sometimes we are
guilty of "narrowcasting". BFD.
I suspect that there's an awful lot of people who participate both
actively and passively in our threads.
Also... that would be "spammed"... not "spamed".
Relax, get to know us better... we'll make fun of you too... oh, seems
like I already did...
