Doug - I agree with you.  I have had our very own Alistair Bell send me a table
knob he found at the wreckers.  Put it in a box, and sent it to me gratis.
Very kind.

What comes around, goes around, so I figured I had better keep it moving.  A
guy from VWVortex named Pawel emailed me to say he and his wife were headed
our way in their new 2001 EV, but alas, I was headed to Yellowknife.  He wanted
to know if I could get a NWT license plate for him for his collection.  I bought
one at a drugstore for ten bucks and mailed it to him and didn't ask for anything
in return.  He was pretty floored, and I told him it's just Karma, so pass it
on to someone else.

I just feels good to do something nice for someone else.
