Please tell me. Been away from the group for awhile. I'm sure he'll
let me
know what he thinks.

My problem is how I was treated the first time I visited this group. I
was rudely told by four members that I was in the wrong newsgroup and
that I owned a shitty car. With the way I was, and have been treated, I
have made it a point to enlighten this group on a daily basis. Now it
has gotten to a point where I am really having fun. I think that I'll
stick around.

Looks like Taffy needs to look in the mirror. This time with the lights

Why don't you listen to your own advice? Are you just thick?

You don't know the vintage? Sounds like a lovely rust bucket.

Obviously not.

But surely not one of these unless of course you fancy a BBQ?
