[Fot] gearbox legality

[michael cook]

To Bill B-

I'm glad you wrote that other message stating that you are a writer.
"bandoleer of bachelorettes" is quite a metaphor. Maybe instead of arguing the
merits of which gearboxes will stand up best to the worst shifting, we can
discuss the moral aspects of stuffing young ladies into the pockets of a
cartridge belt and wearing them.

Clearly you need to change your mental metaphor for the FOT. It's
like a bunch of racers at the bar in Siebken's The topics might start
from a rational observation--like "Holy smoke--an entire bandolier of
bachelorettes just walked in the door".  And quickly transform into a
discussion of whether or not it is morally reprehensible to use a
Mallory distributor.

It's a good thing.

And of course we have the power. All we have to do is universally
agree on something. I'm not holding my breath.
