Oh cut it out.

I searched on Hotshot Turbo and received 1,019 hits.

I searched on Hotshot Turbo Kit and received 370 hits.

I searched on Hotshot Turbo Kit Included and received 40 hits.

Don't tell me none of those has anything someone looking at the Hotshot kit
would be interested in.  I'm not directing this at the person who originally
posted.  Jon, don't tell me the info is not there.

Hey Jon, bite me.  I don't have time to do the research for you.  On my plate
at the moment is:

1) My wife and I are undergoing IVF.  Cars are pretty unimportant to me at the
moment.
2) My company is closing down and selling off its assets.
3) Related to number 2, I'm in the job market again and need to find a job -
especially if we are going to be starting a family.
4) What little effort I'm putting into cars at the moment is 50% taken up by
learning about another platform (my 944) for the first time in 10 years.  I
have my own homework to do.  And when I can sneak a little time I'm actually
trying to get it ready to install a rollcage since it's going to be a race
car.
5) The other 50% of what little time I have for cars at the moment is being
spent working on a little commercial venture that should have been launched
months ago, but time is at a premium and getting some things *right* is taking
a bit more time than planned.

So, all I can tell you is the information is there.  You'll have to find it
yourself and forgive me (or not) for not holding your hand through the process
or taking the time to write up the things I remember.  I don't have time to do
your research or to rewrite (or summarize) the things that have already been
written.

And if this sounds a bit touchy, well tough.  I spend an inordinate amount of
time on this list still despite other things I have on my plate.  I *do* try
to have a life outside this list (although some members and my wife might
argue the point).  I just don't care to be dinged for not giving a better
response.  I suppose next time I won't say anything and you're on your own.

Lastly, I think I *do* lead by example.  I've occasionally asked questions
that were covered in the archives, but it's rare.  I've been dinged for it and
apologized to everyone for wasting people's time.  Mostly I give people pretty
good answers I think, and when I have the time, I even do hold some folks'
hands.
