Sorry, I'm just one of those ButtHeads that is trying to keep this 
notesgroup "fairly" free of inappropriate postings.  I apologize
if I offended you.  It was not intended.

*MOST* of the FOR SALE items in these notesgroups are just placed
everywhere and I get tired of seeing them just because someone wants
free and widespread advertising.  We've all got stuff to sell (myself
included), but I'm not going to clutter every notesgroup that I belong
to with stuff that the majority probably isn't interested in.  These
rec.autos.* groups are getting so large, it takes a lot of TIME to 
wade through everything.  I'd much better like HELPING someone out 
with a problem, rather than reading FOR SALE stuff.

As you had already explained your logic in putting your item in (ie.
Corvette), I decided that it WAS okay so didn't respond anymore.  I
suppose I should have posted a retraction and apology earlier.

As far as as knowing what an antique posting should be about, I don't
care too much.  Heck, if someone posted a question on how to speculate
if a 1994 car is going to be an antique "someday", I would enjoy that.

Again, I'm sorry for being a ButtHead.  Some of us can't help it.
(Yes that means I'll probably flame future postings at will)
