Doug - I agree with you. I have had our very own Alistair Bell send me a table knob he found at the wreckers. Put it in a box, and sent it to me gratis. Very kind.

What comes around, goes around, so I figured I had better keep it moving. A guy from VWVortex named Pawel emailed me to say he and his wife were headed our way in their new 2001 EV, but alas, I was headed to Yellowknife. He wanted to know if I could get a NWT license plate for him for his collection. I bought one at a drugstore for ten bucks and mailed it to him and didn't ask for anything in return. He was pretty floored, and I told him it's just Karma, so pass it on to someone else.

I just feels good to do something nice for someone else.
