Yu will find that, as you get older, your tolerance for ignorant fools gets
to be much lower.

You implied in a previous email that Gen 2's are not the dependable
daily drivers that Gen 1's and Gen 3's are.  This was obviously based
on your experiences, which only included worn-out Gen 2's and a brand
new Gen 1 and Gen 3.  Silly comparison, IMO.

I'm not going to argue with you.  You've proven many times that you're
always right, at least in your own mind.

I don't even think you believe half the crap you write.  I think you
just get your jollies from ruffling feathers, especially on the V8
list.

I hope I'm not like that when I'm your age ;^)
