Whoa Rob Relax!!
I'll post this to the entire list simply because you had the discourtesey
to post the message above in the same manner. If you'll read my post I
specifically said I'm NOT calling you a liar. NOT means the same thing in
Canada as in the US doesn't it? I've never lived or even been to Canada and
until now I'd never heard of an Imperial gallon. If that makes me a fool
then so be it. I specifically tailored my post to be non-offensive on a
subject where I thought you had given inaccurate information. In the
context of the Imperial Gallon I was wrong about your milage and I
apologize for offending you. Several others chimed in with a correction
about the measurement and explained that an Imperial Gallon is more than a
US gallon. As for the rest of the post there's no apology. If I think your
wrong about something I'll say so courteously, if you can't respond the
same way then I guess you've shown your true colors.
