These people are just whores who think other people are also whores.

Well, this list has certainly died down an awful lot.  Just as well from
some standpoints because the signal to noise improved dramatically.  I am
on a bunch of car lists and forums given my ownership of a diverse group of
cars now.  I even visit G20.net now and then because I like most of the
folks and like to help, although that group has developed a pretty good
knowledge base in the time they have had their own forum.

Anyway, perhaps some folks will meander back this way a bit more in light
of current events.
