<VV> conventions, 5997 and attitude and comments on VV

[Jack Kean]

was this the email that fueled the talk about #5997? It would appear 
that it was, and if I am correct, I will apologize for that.

First let me be clear. This comment (at least when I wrote it) was a 
simple one, based on what I now understand to be incorrect information 
related to the purchase price of this car. Aaaaaaaaaaaaah. That darn 
internet. I was curious (and interested since I have a low number car) 
about what made this car jump that much in value in such a short time. 
Nothing more than that.

The responses, including one of mine, seem to have been fueled by 50% 
nitro-methane, and 50% vitriol. For that, I will humbly apologize to 
Allen Bristow (who I have never met) and the readers of this forum. 
While I am old enough not to be surprised about much, I am genuinely 
surprised by the responses. Maybe I shouldn't be. I've seen the same 
things on other forums. It has happened to me. People find it much 
easier to be that way when they don't have to open their mouths or look 
people in the eyes when they communicate.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. That darn internet again.

I am glad the moderator finally tuned into the direction that this was 
heading and is trying to get things back on track. Unfortunately, this 
"problem" is much larger than this forum. It is a statement about where 
we are headed as a society.

Enough of it. Again I apologize for anything that I might have caused.
