I decry the textmessagization of the American-English language.

From: "Matt" <mbarre at juno.com>
> I received an email the other day with photo documentation of some fellow in
> Utah that "modified" a Chevy Blazer to pull a big fifth wheel camper.  He laid
> the tail gate down and screwed some rails across it then fit a gooseneck
> adapter.  Realizing that the gate was a little flimsy, he "reinforced" it with
> some cheap chain screwed to the pillar and connected by light weigh "S" hooks!
> Still thinking maybe it needed a little something more, he whittled down a
> 4"x4" so it fit in the ball mount from his trailer hitch and supported the
> tailgate from underneath...
> All in all, pretty scary.
> If I sent it to the list it would just strip the pix.  Anyone want to post it
> on their web page?
