I have never deleted a message due to grammatical structure. Some of you folks are language proficient and some are not but in either case I understand the points made. I've owned eleven air-cooled VW's over the years and loved them all in one way or another. Some of the finest mechanics I've ever employed "butchered" the language but produced marvelous repairs in a timely fashion at a reasonable price. I've employed "mechanics" who had perfected English but were sloppy in mechanical results. I've also dealt with folks who were skilled in both areas. I tend to look at results rather than "fluff". My manual dexterity has always been deficient although I can intellectually understand the repair process. Hence, I pay for what I can't do well. This revelation didn't come easy---my ego got in the way early on. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I thoroughly enjoy this list with my morning coffee----This is my first stop on my daily internet travels.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Happy trails,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bill</FONT></DIV><BR><BR><BR> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Lucida Handwriting, Cursive" size=6></FONT> </DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>MSN 8 with <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMXENUS/2740">e-mail virus protection service: </a> 2 months FREE*</html>
