Scott,
Sorry you have not had more replys.....
However, your questions pertain to issues concerning the care and
safekeeping of your otherwise pristine Tiger. Frankly, as the protector of
the cause I feel compelled to relate to you that your questions are
sincerely just too mundane for this group as of late. Some advice to add
controversy to assist you in your quest:
First, insert a dirty joke into your message along with your legitimate
question. This will cause the likes of Laifman, et al, to truly read your
message and render the favour of a reply. If you really want attention,
insert some unintentional racial slurs....you are sure to get many replys,
and some of them not so nice. But as they say, negative attention is
better than no attention at all. If you really get desperate, insert
questions about appropriate attire, such as caps and you will certainly get
many replys with good information, usually preceeded by a BTW.
Ulltimately, what I suggest you do is to become a bit more cocky. Though
it may be out of character for you, it is VERY important to the Tiger
persona.
All kidding aside, appologies to all, most especially Mr. Laifman with his
wonderful sense of humor. Peace to all. Most importantly, LETS STOP
SCREWING AROUND AND HELP THIS PERSON OUT!!
Cherrio!
