John:
Though I'm sure your economic and/or political thoughts and
considera-
tions, as well as those of others, are an important and meaningful
thread
in the fabric of your life, and honor you for it, I have to say that I
take exception to the signpost for your website that you've elected to
include in your postings to the Triumph list. I want to be as civilized
as possible about this, and I AM on your side, and appreciate your input
regarding all things Triumph, but, please, would you exclude the refer-
ence to your site in future postings here? :o|
