[AT] list

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

First let me apologize for sending that to the list, It was supposed to 
actually go to Charlie Hill, he and I generally discuss forbidden list 
topics such as current events, politics or any other hot button topic that 
would start an argument on a public forum.  It's amazing we haven't blocked 
each others email by now given some of the topics we have discussed and have 
not always been in agreement on!

Glad to see that those that disagreed with me did it in a civil manner. 
Likewise those that agreed didn't dump gas on the fire either. Needless to 
say I am one of the biggest fans of ATIS and would not intentionally do 
anything to stir up trouble.
I get way too much benefit from here to stir up any trouble!

I am a member of at least 5 lists/forums. I also frequent a few more when I 
am searching for information regarding vehicle repair or work related 
issues. One thing that sort of sticks out  when I am reading through various 
threads (on any list/forum) is when the original poster doesn't say thanks 
or follow up on the suggestions given. I guess it's just my nature to expect 
a thank you or see closure to a situation. I'm probably guilty for failing 
to do this at times. There have been times when I get so much help on a 
situation that I just try to give a "blanket" thanks to all.
