Read my next posting Mannix.  You assumed yet again.  No, I don't plan
to forward more humor to the list.  The message was not forwarded for
humor but to illustrate the stupid things people do and perhaps call
attention to our actions should we find ourselves in a silly situation.
An example to THINK before we act.  If Shawn blew a fuse and wanted to
express himself using expletives in every other word instead of replying
like an adult, that's his business.  I took it with a grain of salt and
moved on, same as I'm doing with this.  

Now when you hit on the point about posting only Scirocco related
messages, I've been here long enough to remember a posting concerning go
cart racing.  Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm sure you will, but did
that have anything to do with Scirocco's?  Hmm, I didn't think so but I
found this nifty little key on my computer and just deleted the message. 
End of story because you see, had I responded to it and complained, that
would just exaccerbate what we're trying not to do, post irrelevant
comments to the list which is what you're complaining about, isn't it?

Since only a few individuals commented on my lack of sensitivity for
animals, I'm betting a lot more people found that nifty little key I was
talking about.
