[SEL] Fooled again

Hi Rick,

I will have to disagree with you on this. This is supposed to be a 
stationary engine list. I consider many on the list friends even though 
I have never met them in person, but there are limits. I counted 41 
replied to the oil pan issue in two days. Even worse is that the 
original question moved on to oil change intervals, and then to bashing 
mechanics. The OT computer question turned into a pissing match over 
operating systems. George said it well. There are forums dedicated to 
all of this OT stuff. I don't mind the occasional OT question, and will 
answer off list if I can help. If it is not in the general interest of 
stationary engines, it should not be replied to on the list. That's my 
last comment on this. I'll see how the next few days play out. For all 
the list I have found some great sites for your interests.

PS. Sigh, looks like goodbye. Two more off topic bullshit messages as I 
wrote this.
