Adam,
  The Van was in Bob's town, with the mechanic Bob recommended, for
several weeks with Bob's knowledge.  I was told that they both addressed
the problem.  The leak got a little better but was not fixed.  Does it
make sense for me to drive my Van several hundred miles busing and
training it back home so I could leave it for several weeks and not let
Bob know about it?  Bob isn't a mechanic, which he will acknowledge, he
doesn't have a shop to work on cars, he's a rebuilder...I was never
supposed to leave it with him, Bob and I agreed to leave it at Greg's
where he could check it out while there.  We all agree I was up there so
why would I waste my time by lying about whether or not Bob knew it was
in  town or whatever.  Are we clear now.  I'm no longer interested in
doing he said, she said on the list.  If Bob says he didn't work on it
fine, I say he did, fine.  Let's not drag this out any longer.  Okay?  So
again, Adam, if Bob doesn't want to drag this out on the list and I don't
why are you?  You may think you "see this all the time" but you don't
know what transpired so drop it.

Thanks.
