Yeah Larry. Bob's right. It was just a quote, not his own words. (But
he may be pulling a Rush Limbaugh thing on us). At any rate, he
shouldn't be the one to get steamed. He who posts the standard
disclaimer at the end of a message should certainly understand that the
same disclaimer applies to the response as well.
Of course he's still making blatent remarks about MGAs being slow.
Didn't say anything about that autocross thing though, did he?
Now if I can just figure out which one of us he has so eloquently called
a DIMBULB?
Later,
Barney
