I'm in full agreement 'bout what you'd posted concerning the small diffs do mean so much (not only with cars) , r&rrods !
An Elvis Caddy is worth more than one that ain't , for example .
I didn't & still don't think that the posting(s) you've mentioned were horsehockey .
A person gets all types of responses on various forums , as I'm sure you know ... sometimes it's alotta work to find a dead end , 'specially when it's a rare bird that's trying to be caught !
I'm an old car guy , so if I get called a bs'er , I take it that a real BS'er has mis-identified me as some one that they might be buddies with .
