[Healeys] 100M on ebay?

[Mr. Bill]

Ohhhhhhhh Mr. Oritt,

Here I thought we had settled our discussion amiably off List with you 
stating:  "Sorry for the unnecessary conflict." and attaching a picture 
of your 100 with some sort of a hardtop???

I don't know why you have to be surreptitious with "some BN1 owner" when 
everybody knows it's me, Bill Barnett from the South Left Coast USA or 
Mr. Bill to you.  Actually I'm glad you decided to drag this back out in 
public AGAIN because I would like to ask for the collective wisdom of 
our worldwide group.

In our off List correspondence I asked Mr. Oritt:  "What I originally 
questioned was how you decided that our cars should 'properly be called 
a 100 Lemans' and 'calling the car an M is wrong'.  Is this your 
nomenclature?  If so, who appointed you the authority?  If not, please 
direct me to your reference and I will publicly apologize to you.  If it 
is to be Lemans,  which of the three spellings you have used is 
correct?"  (LeMans or Le Mans)

Mr. Oritt chose to completely ignore my simple questions.  Can anyone on 
our List help bail him out?

Many thanks for your patience and with your help, we can put this much 
overworked terminology silliness to rest.

Bill
