- Dwight, first, if you're going to respond to a post, address the issue
- that the original poster is asking about. Second, your response is one
- of the bigger loads of crap I've seen. Third, in case you've been off
- the planet for awhile - and your response certainly makes it appear as
- though you have - 15K for a car these days is hardly *alot of money*.
- Fourth, Mr. Lee's post was to-the-point and asked a valid question.
- Why you should start off by saying *I should slap Mr. Lee for this* is
- beyond me, but since I see no smileys anywhere in your response, I
- have to assume your words are serious. Therefore, your comment was
- totally inappropriate. Chill and get a perspective on reality before
- you post again, else I may be forced to seek you out and slap YOU
- around.
