That is significant because you are making the assertion that he is performing the online equivalent of standing on the street corner cursing and shouting. While he may have actually done that in the past, in real life, what he is doing on *this* email list is the online equivalent of standing in Jon's garage, on PRIVATE property, and speaking to his fellow guests.
> For all of the goofy crap Tom has done, I believe you might just be the first to be offended by his "manners". To be clear, I was not "offended" by your first post. This one, however, clearly shows a lack of character and maturity based on the over-reaction to both Tom's post and my own. It is possible some self reflection might be in order on the relative irony there. You might want to add me to your ignore list also, in case I start offending any delicate sensibilities...

>>> Y'all must be new. That's OK, we like new people here, so allow me to explain, this post is from Tom. Tom has a much or more experience as anyone on this list when it comes to taking his truck apart and putting it back together. Tom has performed complete engine swaps and then driven a thousand miles for a test drive. Tom is a master of taking 2 or 3 broken trucks and mashing them up in a blender, I mean Garage, and ending up with a (mostly) serviceable truck. Who else among us could perform an engine swap from a different kind of truck, drive the resultant truck a thousand miles to a BBQ, drive that same truck into a pond, and have the headlights continue to work while the truck is under water... Tom's rants too, are the stuff of DML legend. Just search the archive for Tom's posts and read the ones with the special characters, you will see. Tom is one of the good guys here, and while following his example is not for the faint of heart, he is worth listening to, even if he is merely ranting about
something he broke.
