". . .fine print on the paper we signed in Moab. $10 of every rally fee is going to the Al Gore campaign. I know support for him among participants was near unanimous. . ." Is this really true?!! Or is this a cruel joke? The honor system virus thing was sorta funny! This isn't even remotely funny! What's next a portion of the fee going to the United Nations or Sara Brady's group? I'm a stanch Alan Keys supporter for President. If $10 of each rally fee had gone to his campaign this would have been wrong as well. At least in my eyes. I was considering the possibility of going next year, however if something like this would show up at the last minute I'd pack my gear and go home on just principle alone. Principle has always cost me Big in life. At least until I started working for a non-profit organization 4 years ago where my views are not considered odd and politically incorrect. What a relief!

Slide, it's not true. $20.00 dollars of every rally fee went to the NRA and to elect our next president, Mr. Heston. Gino, we can only dream.

[b]Sorry Mike, [/b]   [b]Gino has blown a gasket trying to come up with your answer.  He will be out of the hospital and back to normal(?) soon.  If you believe half of what Bogdan tells you then you get what you pay for.[/b]   [b]Gino is taking money out of his own pocket to make these Get-Togethers work.  If there were any moneys left from the Utah Get-Together to give away, the last place Gino's contributions go to would be a political campaign.[/b] [b][/b]  [b]Fred[/b]

why is it that political extremists never get the joke? just look at the "from" line. if it came from bogdan, it's unlikely to be completely serious. he was just poking fun. mw some reactionary carefully typed:

I found a formula used to calculate shim thickness on VW engines to modify compression ratios. I modified the formula to eliminate the shim portion of the calculation. Bear with me this is complex: WHERE: B= Bore diameter in mm, S=Stroke in mm, C=Chamber Volume in cc, and D=Deck Height in Inches, the formula for compression ratio is: ((B^2*S*0.0031416)+((C+(B^2*0.01996*D))*4))/((C+(B^2*0.01996*D))*4) Wheew!! Can you follow those parentheses? Try creating an Excel worksheet with this formula, it seems to work. Rob
