  The rule should be:
  "If you ain't DONE IT or (at least)DRIVEN IT, then you don't get to TALK
 ABOUT IT".

Warren,

This type of policy would exclude discussion by individuals contemplating a
swap. It would also exclude discussions of untried combinations. I prefer to
filter through the chatter rather than excluding bright (and maybe
controversial) ideas from folks who are not included to do a swap themselves.
I will agree that posters should declare if the opinion being expressed is
from personal experience or just plain bench racing.

Now ask me what came to mind when my brother pulled up in his nearly new 2000
Carrera Cabriolet. The left brain said "Wow! Babe magnet dump the Vanagons
and buy one". The right brain drooled "Ummmm yummy. Donor car."
