was: Cams, lights, revoulutions, and the weather(long)

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

Well, I'll fess up, I was the political correctness police this time. Which 
is so out of character for me.
But David, so you know, sexual orientation is okay to talk about on the 
list.

Topics you don't touch are:
Disparaging remarks about Canadian beer
Political mention of shrubbery
Typographical skills
Age (Julie's older BTW)
Spam

Topics to touch with great care:
anything to do with spandex
whether to cross drill your rotors
merits of increased number of valves per cylinder (2 vs 4 usually , oh, a 
big wink there, I avoided the "numbers" completely, folks will have to break 
out the calculators)
injector size

I know I've missed some flame wars, but that's a good start...

Oh, and fair warning, when I can get to Julie's site and post some pictures, 
you may ALL  get offended... those pictures you know I have of you? I'm 
posting them...so be warned
Cathy
