[Farmall] My Goodness.

[Frank DeWitt]

I started the thread about Mice.  I don't like them nesting in my tractor.

It took off like crazy as topics on lists often do.  Having started 
it I feel bad that people have become angry, and very bad that James 
is thinking of leaving.

For me,  I am on a few lists ranging from tractors to church 
sound.  Every list has it's members who remind us to cut the amount 
we quote, and don't talk about this and that, and every list has 
flare ups and hot discussions.  So what, we aren't just Farmall 
owners, we are people.  I really enjoy my Farmall  but Religion is my 
life so given a chance, I will discuss it.  I am also passionate 
about politics and there is only one side that is right.  If you 
disagree, that is OK, we just disagree.

Anyway,  James, I hope you come back.  Steve,  I disagree, but so 
what,  Not a big deal.

Just for fun,  but before you read it I would like to point out that
A       The bulb is the glass portion of what is properly called a lamp.
B       They are going to be banned by the foolish Government, or the 
enlightened Government
C       It was God that made light in the first place and He did it 
on the first of 6 real days.

GRIN.
