Just because you don't agree with something a person says or does,doesn't give
anybody the right to call someone names. If you want to start name calling it
should be done off the list. Why should I have to read the names that people are
calling each other? What the hell does that have to do with old trucks? At least
the E-bay messages do pertain to old trucks. At least the subject line reflects
what the message is unlike a message with a subject line of "Last on Ebay"
resulting in name calling and insults. I do hope from this point on every
message on this list pertains only to old trucks and no more " nickel ads " or
for sale for a friend of a friend.
That's just my opinion, and if you don't like it feel free to contact of the
list I am very good at pushing the delete key. If this has offended anyone I
apologize.
