The flaming he got?? I appreciate your sarcasm :-) but this is what I said
to Don:

"Wow, that's more than one engine rebuild per week for forty years. I find
that hard to believe....."

Now, if that is really considered a flame around here, I will be happy to
unsubscribe and leave the list. What was a flame was the mean spirited
commentary that Don replied with, so maybe he is the one who ought to take
the hit for flaming?

It sure as heck wasn't me flaming him.
