I still don't understand why you think sharing a carfax account is outside the letter of the law. A car club- or a mailing list- is not a business. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Christopher Gronski <gronski@GMAIL.COM> Reply-To: Christopher Gronski <gronski@GMAIL.COM> Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2006 16:59:13 -0400 Bruce you're probably right, but if we are talking about intelectual property I'd make a similar argument about ETKA and that doesn't stop me from using it.

I still need WV2YB0258HG018451 run for me... any takers? On 4/26/06, Bruce Nadig <motorbruce@hotmail.com> wrote: > I have been meaning to start this thread for a very long time.
