oh i needed a chuckle.
I pmailed tom and maybe he got my note.
But why is it that people so often don't think to say what year, or at least
what type of waterboxer
engine they have.......
and .....I'm sincere here too.............could someone tell me why it is
simply lost on so many people to mention WHERE
they or WHERE what they have for sale is ????????????
Sure seems to be a virus in people's minds to me.
Very prevelant too.

I even see companies with websites that are not clear about where they are
located physically.
Must be 'just me.'  Physical loaction matters a lot to me.
oh,
i'm in southern oregon. But people really, really do seem to think people
can read their minds about that one bit of info.
