[R-390] The Slippery TD Addendum

[rbethman]

List:

I replied direct to Bob Camp.

I'll summarize it here.

He lives in Pennsylvania.

This puts it into the class of Apples vs. Oranges.

In a nutshell, the idiotic license and permit *requirements* are in 
place by the State of Virginia.

I've made note of this in numerous posts.  If you aren't HERE, then this 
issue does not apply.

That is the short of it.  Reality is that there are about three or four 
states that have some restrictions.  I paid no attention to restrictions 
other than Virginia.  Those are the ones that *I* have to deal with and 
live within.

We begin to waste effort and energy when a number of folks either send 
me a message direct off-list, and even on-list.

I've contacted at least a dozen suppliers with regard to either Ethanol 
OR Lab Grade 99.8% isopropyl.

Every single time, when they determine my location, I am informed of the 
Virginia restrictions and requirements.

I will take it in stride and resolve *MY* problems.  If it had been so 
easy to begin with, I'd have solved this long time ago.
