let each speak only for himself -- nklr

A KListeR preached the brotherhood of ALL motorcyclists at the same time he was writing a mfr. of bike electrical equipment whose product's quality had been questioned on-list. Assuming the role of spokesman for the list, he apologized to the mfr. for the "malcontents" among us. He then posted the mfr.'s response along with the self-aggrandizing comment, "Just thought I'd share this with you all. Making peace can sometimes move mountains." Thanks, Brother, but I can speak for myself. If the product is unsatisfactory, kissing the mfr.'s ass is counterproductive. If the product is OK, the ass-kissing is unnecessary. Open debate among the "malcontents" is the only way to establish the worth of the product. "Just thought I'd share this with you all. Making peace can sometimes move mountains." Awww, how sweet! Can I have a hug? Maybe this lister could make peace with the conservationists he was haranguing the previous day and thereby move a mountain or two out of the protected area, to a location more convenient to himself. How inconsiderate of God to have placed them where He did! Anne Taggan-Eiser
