Of course it's not, Greg. You just dug up a post from several years ago on
another forum to make an issue over - despite the fact that there is no
"misinformation" as you claim, simply opinions that differ from yours.

Well, the first one I ever operated was restored by you. So you've got me
there.

Clearly you consider any opinion that differs from yours as 'hostile' or
some kind of attack. You see yourself as so important that someone stayed
up late to pen a 'angry reply' to you, even. Fact of the matter is, I
waiting for a call back from a fellow on the left coast about getting a car
shipped here. Responding to your nonsense, though completely pointless,
helped to pass the time. The pathetic part is, this is the most activity
I've had on this list in months or years.

One thing is certain Greg - you start these little episodes as
opportunities to draw attention to yourself, your collection, your
"accomplishments". As predictable as the rising and setting of the sun. The
comments below prove this yet again.

So responding just allows you to further publicize yourself and feed your
ego, but that's okay. It's the least I can do for a fellow 1 lander. I'd
say it's been fun, but 'funny' is probably more accurate.

Lunch is over. Back out to the Farmall and mowing. And we're done here. Or,
at least, I am.
