8 now since you started another one Laughing

who the hell knows with this forum. It does not work well with email listers and forum users. Very annoying.

Mike,

Simple, Americans and wanna be Australians have enough grey matter to handle the multiple conversations; people that live in New
Scotland have problems obviously!

Wow Mike,

That is an easy one.
As the forum is a adjunct to the original mailing list, there are some issues. One of them is that if an e-mail user does not reply directly, then the code package assumes it is a new topic, and it is posted as such. Some people do read this as email, and if they have a properly configured mail client, it will put all of the identical topics in the same thread. When I go back to read this all in the digest that I use, they will all be grouped together. The problem is that they will be sorted by time, so if a reply does not quote the message it is replying to, there may be no chance to effectively interpret that response. This is why I run both.

Broken, non standards compliant email clients. JWZ has some nice rants on
the subject, he was the lead for the Netscape mail and news clients
versions 1-3 here he is on threading https://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html
which is where our problem lies.

First. Install a 3:70 FD. I never have the trans shift down by the throttle. If I'm on a long climb. I shift manually. Then have a contest with myself as to how many cars can I have pass me before I crest the hill. Drive 55 to 60. Then enjoy the view. Use cruise on the flats. As to Jim K. YES. Average 5 tanks. Fill your tanks with the front higher then the back. Treat your engine to an EFI. For me. I don't really care anymore as to mileage. I'm on a mission to just enjoy beautiful North America.
