Wow. Talk about getting ones' panties in a twist over nothing... Fred is commonly asked about parts in stock. Maybe he didn't have the time to sit down and carefully prepare a reply that would not offend anyone here. I know I sure don't have the time to think about my answers that much. Like most people in the world today, we scan as fast as we can, perhaps missing a few things. And I think Fred gave you the info you requested, regarding reading the parts page info. So if this message is not what anyone wants to hear, is it also spam? Jeff A20 In a message dated 4/30/2009 5:57:16 P.M.
