[Spridgets] Porsches and eBay, no Spridget content

[Ron Soave]

Mark,
When someone pays me a compliment and calls me "Mr. Sohve" instead of
So-ah-vay as it is intended, I politely thank them for the compliment before
making a correction, if at all. Doing it the way Chris did gives "car guys" a
bad name.
