RE: [Chrysler300] Marv's suggestion - alternative second list

[Nancy Kramer <nekramer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I just didn't understand what the whole thing was about.  I finally kind of 
figured out what bothered others but I personally did not read the whole 
long post because I really don't have the time right now.  Let's say that 
some people like me just avoid the whole controversy by not reading the 
post.  Not that I thought it was bad just don't have time to read pages and 
pages.  Will try to catch up when I have more time.

Advice for list admins, If you had just not mentioned it I am sure much 
time would have been saved.  I think most people on this list are much more 
likely to read posts that interest them that are short and about the actual 
restoration or parts for the cars.  That is because it is our 
interest.  Nothing says one has to read any post and I a very non political 
person still do not understand what the problem was but maybe some day when 
it is really cold out and I have nothing better to do I will read the post 
that started it all at least three times and if I am lucky will figure it 
out.  A good use of my time?  Maybe.  I feel kind of dumb not understanding 
all this.

Regards,

Nancy Kramer
