Seems to me everyone is wrong if one was to believe all the OFF TOPIC
postings about the US Presidential candidates but save it for another list
PLEASE!
Please remember this is a Military Vehicle Mailing List; some of you seem to
have forgotten!
Why should folks have to hit the Delete Key cos people who know the list
rules continue to flaunt them? This stuff shouldn't be posted end of story!
This is overall a good humoured, very helpful list with some great info (and
wisecracks) on it. Let's all try and keep it that way.
Jim....in Ireland.
