How totally anal:
I ALSO TOTALLY AGREE WITH Jonathon and Ron (reply's below)
Last Night... I read an email on this site from "CYCLOPSRAM"
when he replied to "Late MB Front Springs"
He, "CYCLOPSRAM", Reply... was Totally UNCALLED FOR, & DAM RUDE in his
response & treatment of another LISTER who asked a basic question.
When I first joined the list, "I too" had received a damm rude response by
another lister. In fact it was an EXPERIENCED lister who posted an ingnorant
thoughtless Reply!.
I ONLY stayed with this site because I thought, "they "ALL cant be tarrred
with the same brush... could they ?
Fortunately, most, most, nearly everyone on this list has NOT turned out to
be like the author of the REPLY I saw last night.
If anyone is not sure what has happened here ...go back to the beginning of
the "thread listings" and look up MVlist title "Late MB Front Springs"
that's my ten cents worth

HERE IS THE REPLY THAT CYLOPSRAM WROTE to a fellow lister ...after that
lister wrote in with a question regarding front spring sizes differences....
At 07:03 PM 12/15/00 EST:
Too bad. you will never make it in the collector field.... The obvious
differences are readily apparent in all of the military manuals... All of
the part #'s, the sizes of the leaves, the spacers, the bushings, the
dimensions, and the options are all there for even the neophytes. I had
my first MB in 1964 and never had to ask about any mundane stuff like
this...

(Jonathons message in reply is below ...this was the 1st. response to the
above flame on the list)
HAVING A BAD DAY ARE WE?
(Jonathon replied to the above listing from "CYCLOPSRAM")
