Well, I ain't trying to say anything...I just wanted to remove the reminder. I figured that my removal post was at least as good as the reminder...!!!

My personal favorite is "Help me decide!!! posts...jeez...

Can't the poster just sack up and make a decision on his own? Internet advice is about as reliable as predicting earthquakes...!!!

No problem, Rx...thanks for the kind words!

I have become pretty good at figuring out which post is genuine and which one is trying to provoke a response. It's also become easier for me to spot a "troll". People that use emoticons, like Racerguy did, can make the intent of the response more obvious.

This particular thread is pointless...no truck stuff...but I'm intertaining myself while drinking a beer and watching tv....

It's all good...!!!

It looks like, although irrelevant, at least my pointless, , post has SOME value...

We gotta have SOME fun once in awhile, don't we???

Of course, the "purists" may take offense to my jibberish...

But...since I own an 2004 Eff Onefitty Eff Ex Fo...

AND...I live in Southern California...

Which has nothing to do with anything..

Just like this thread...!!!
