Terry wrote the above in response to Robert:

I am new to this group and am monitoring it for ideas about my own efi
projects of the future.  An observation:  Terry, you seem to be a "fairly"
<snip> intelligent individual, however, your recent belligerance,
antagonistic and attacking language make even your comprehensible
statements go un-read because individuals like myself don't want to be
bothered with dribble that has nothing to do with efi.  Please try to get
along with the others in this group and get back to the correct topic -
ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION!!!  

I appologize to all of you here for the topic of efi since this has nothing
to do with it, but enough is enough.
