Chris,

Try to chill out a bit.

Ben made a goofy posting.  He has been on the list for a long time, and we
all know he is a silly guy.  He has also helped me and countless others out
with his knowledge of Vanagon troubleshooting and maintainance. His general
statement of "I Hate Mechanic" was simply his way of saying "I Love The
List".  None of us like to go into a shop, regardless of what language they
are speaking, and be told that to change out the temp sensors will cost 350
bucks.  He was NOT insulting you Chris (even though you may be a mechanic).

You, on the other hand, started a fight, and attacked a list member
personally.  You made some false assumptions (like that Ben is from
France... he is not.  He is from Mars), and insulted somebody who you don't
even know.

My guess is that there are many other list emails which are more deserving
of our time and energies... so how about we all get back to having fun here?

IMPORTANT!!! In order to reply to me, you must have the word "FISH"
somewhere in the subject line of the email.  Otherwise it goes directly in
the trash.
