Ahh ... but I must disagree ... they were direct quotes from Bob's
posts. Andy Smith merely replied to Bob's query regarding 'blow
holes' with "Dolphin? ... Whale?". The quote was Bob's embellishment
of Andy's reply.
So ... he continues to make blatant remarks about 'A's being
slow, but won't accept your autocross challenge. Do you think that
he might be intimidated by an 'A'? Perhaps that bulge in the hood
of his 'C' isn't that virile after all.
By the way, I'm sure that it was you that he was referring to as
a DIMBULB ... it certainly couldn't have been me.
Of course Bob's STANDARD DISCLAIMER applies.
