Um, what the HELL is up with your news client? Your replies are the
only ones on the entirety of groups I read that don't change color for
quoted text. It's those colons before the > that are throwing it off and
I've read other people using Agent as well. Is that something you did
purposefully?

Perhaps a metaphor might help:
1. Your emails are like sperm, ready to dash out and do their thing.
2. Your ISP is a prick.
3. APEWS is a condom.
4. We are innocent maidens who do not like surprises.
5. You are asking for one teeny hole in the rubber.

Why don't we ask the group? Is anyone else having the same problem as WF
with my posts? If not then I have to assume the problem is on your end.

I see that this article about the 110mpg Mustang has been picked up all over
creation. Ergo, ipso facto, it must be true.

True, your quotes don't change colors like the others do.

Trust me it's not on my end, it is only your posts. Even Dwight's
reply to you comes out correct. Like I said, it has to be the :> in
front of your quotes instead of > or >>. Dwight may not see different
quotes in different colors unless he specifically sets Windows mail to
do that, Gill is using Thunderbird so it does it by default.

Heck, I've seen people kill their spouse for $25k of life insurance. It
isn't a stretch at all for this numb nuts to think he can fleece
Progressive out of $10 million with a scam he invented. I guess just
the fact he registered makes him legitimate?

You're a trusting soul, Sarah. I have lived long enough to hear
thousands of miracle invention claims for just about anything
imaginable. Maybe because I'm an engineer it makes me cynical when I
hear someone had an epiphany occur to them in their garage that lets
them skip all the R&D a company like Toyota does year after year to
bring a 55 mpg hybrid car to market for $20k-$23k. If getting 100 mpg
from an old Mustang was that easy it would have been done by now.
Progressive doesn't have to worry about losing their $10 million anytime
soon. ;)

Re: Getting 110 miles to the gallon (News 8 Austin)
As an engineer, I'm sure you can appreciate the irony that equates an engine
designed nearly 50 years ago in a car that is over 20 years old... and
having the word "modern" inserted into the mix....

You assume quite a lot, Michael. Trust but verify is my motto. IF I had
$10 million dollars to give away I'd listen to all sorts of people and
their ideas. Listening is free.

Plenty of engineers in my family Michael, all IEEE members, as well as two
who graduated from GMI, and I can't say there's a cynical one among them.
My father was an engineer at GE, an Elfun member, and when he retired the
QC Manager for the WD Division, US. When he died his design work for GE
during WWII and the subsequent Cold War years was still classified. My
background therefore gives me a different opinion of engineers as not that
of cynics but of skeptics when evaluating wild claims or seemingly
impossible events. YMMV of course.

Plenty of engineers in my family Michael, all IEEE members, as well as two
who graduated from GMI, and I can't say there's a cynical one among them.
My father was an engineer at GE, an Elfun member, and when he retired the
QC Manager for the WD Division, US. When he died his design work for GE
during WWII and the subsequent Cold War years was still classified. My
background therefore gives me a different opinion of engineers as not that
of cynics but of skeptics when evaluating wild claims or seemingly
impossible events. YMMV of course.
