Thank you Susan, for saying what need to be said. I will add that this
bashing of each others group is a form of insecurity and petty jelousy.
If I was a purist for each of the mentioned groups, I would have spent
the 5 grand I just dropped in my old Pick up truck into My 1964
Spitfire. But I have already dropped a couple of grand into it this
year. Lord help me when my wife finds out. OK, I have on my asbestos
drawers, go ahead and flame me.
