The SUBJECT MATTER was [Syncro] Headlamps. I am not simply being politically correct. I was trying to tell you that some of us have experienced the result of negative images suggested by remarks such as the one you made. I believe this list to be primarily for the discussion of Vanagon issues. It certainly is not for your political views nor mine. Most of my friends are Mexican American. Are you? This will be the last response you will get from me on this matter on-list.
