O.K., O.K., I jumped to conclusion.  I'm just a little wary when I see a 
name I don't recognize come from nowhere and ask for something from the 
list.  It was not too long ago that we had an Ebay professional work 
over the lists with a phony story so he could sell these items for a 
profit.  If I made a mistake I apologize.  If I lived in Texas I would 
even help him put the new motor in.
