Paul,

There was no need to post this to the list.  Fact is, the meaningful content (how to stop the vehicle) had been described on the list when the discussion originally occurred.  The exact procedure described in the video was included in the original discussion, just with civility.  Of course the video was offensive, and not just for the language.  I can only imagine that offense was your intention, as it certainly was the intention of those who made the video and posted it originally.

Further, the moderators asked us at the time of the original discussion not to discuss this matter further, as it is not relevant to the purpose of the list.
