Subject:An Apology to Ron and the Bus Depot

Hello,

Not long ago, I commented that Ron's hatch struts would probably not last
any longer than the other brands that I've tried.  I based this on the fact
that after a couple of years I noticed them weakening.  All of my other
struts were stronger in the winter and weaker in the summer, so I predicted
that when the hot weather hit, the struts would fail.

Well, I was wrong.  Now that it's 100 degrees in Phoenix, the struts are
_stronger_ than they were in the winter.  In fact, if I were stupid enough
to make another prediction, I'd say that they'll last form many more years.

So Ron, I apologize for the post and the loss of sales that you may have
had because of it.
