That's nice. So what.

Yes - that's what they call one type of man who poses as a woman. So what.

OK - you did it.

That's right. We're all crazy as loons. We like it that way. We drove
all the normal people off. We've been waiting for you to join us.

Gee that's funny. The guy who used to be president of a certain
MOPAR-centric club uses Amsoil ATF in his Chrysler car. I won't tell
you which club it is because, even though several people there are
friendly to Amsoil and some use it - they wouldn't want to hear your
meaningless crap either. On the other hand, there's five fingers - err
- I mean - if you happen to figure it out, that's OK too, 'cause they
can block you there, so knock yourself out trying to figure it out - it
wouldn't be hard to do.

Let's see...invective, invective... oh, OK, here it is - "violent verbal
attack". Ummm - OK - I'll buy that. I would try to immitate some
political propaganda double-speak for you, but I'm too tired right now.
However, you can probably pick up some Howard Dean sound bytes on TV
tonight on CNN or Fox News.

Yes - we've all taken a pledge to do that whenever the opportunity
arises. At least we are consistent, eh? (I'm not from Canada - I just
like posting like that when I can.)

OK - you're anti-American. Happy now?

I have nothing against Amsoil. I use certain herbs that I know work,
and people call it snake oil. So what.

No surprise there. You will usually get a similar reaction if you post
that you are using Fram oil filters - that gets a little weird too
sometimes. I don't get freaked out about it though.
