Obviously you don't like Reid! Have you ever met him? I have. I know
you've never met me! I've been playing with Healeys for 34+ years,
having owned 13 of them over that period. I also know, going back to
the Austin-Healey Club, Pacific Centre, that Reid has at least that many
years experience. Combine the two of us and I guess Norman must have
one hell of a big, little finger. (Is that an oxymoron?)

I've been called dick head more than once. Does that qualify me?

Correct, and between YOU and him.

Certainly I read them. And I have a copy of his tech articles
compilation. Possibly my senility is kicking in, but I don't remember
EVER criticizing Norman's contributions to this List, magazines or
otherwise. Perhaps you can enlighten me???

And who appointed you as keeper of the List with regard to what is and
isn't offensive?

I don't wish or have the time to. I still feel that Norman's attack on
Reid internationally was totally uncalled for. Thinking about it,
sounds like you don't like his magazine's content either. Then why
subscribe, if you do.
BTW The tally, both on and off-List, is running 12 to 2 against you.
If you would like to continue wasting both our time, you have my email
for off-List or. I'm in the book.
