I'll just stay out of this, if it wasn't for spell check I'd be in big trouble.

I'm like ZZLEGEND, I also call them by body style and not numbers.

Let's call the whole thing off...........

You hit my hot button, so I had to speak up.
1) Didn't realize the magazine was a one-person operation.

2) I refuse to grow up.

3) I don't consider an expectation of accuracy to be either unreasonable or "self-grandising". (is that a real word?)

4) Nobody is required to read my postings or agree with them.......

You forgot to add Number 5, The Model A News had the ill editor not the Restorer. But I'm just nit picking.

(Nitpicking is the act of removing nits (the eggs of lice, generally head lice) from the host's hair.

FWIW:

Sincere thanks Chris for the very lively Model A discussion topic which appeared to generate lots of interest & humor in a short period.

Seriously hope everybody stayed happy.

My wife always tells me about how we are so lucky to have a Model A Forum with a majority of male discussions as opposed to the women dominated Dog Forum she visits.

She says women don't give up during a discussion until they actually see blood dripping from those who disagree.

For years she always told me that I never understand what happens when women confront to discuss matters with other women.

She always tells me it gets so brutal, like "Its just a Women Thing". LOL
