Yes, as a matter of fact, I _DO_ have better things to do.  Unfortunately, _I_
try to spend some excess time helping the group with technical issues.  I
squabble when squabbling is appropriate, and would enjoin others to do the
same on both counts.  I somehow wonder how you became a member of our (and
that would be "Teeny Weeny") LISTSERV (_NOT_ Newsgroup).

Not quite sure what that "odometer" statement meant, but I _CERTAINLY_ hope
that your son can spell better than you can. Lest ye be forced to pay for an
entire college education, and he to actually earn his own way in his first car
purchased on his own merits -- an Escort.
