They have my condolences then. If it's a matter of not using up too many megabytes or bogging down the system with too many repeated words and writing that way, that I understand. But to see a reply to 'who knows what' .............quite silly. Doesn't' help communication. I think that gets lost her online sometimes- actual 'commitment to Communication' with a capital C. Very terribly so. If the Foundling Fathers were as lazy and careless as witnessed on the internet commonly these days, we'd never get anywhere with the Declaration of Independence or The Constitution. It's SO NICE when words are used like they really matter. Sincerely

The vintage bus list will not even let you post if you have not substantially edited the reply to cut out non relevant text.

FWIW,

Mr. BZ
