Hi to all, I guess an e-mail to the group is in order, explaining why I might not be responding to some e-mails promptly, or even at all. I have rec'd quite a few queries to that effect. Back in early September, I embarked on a new career - as an employee of Suffolk County, L.I. , NY, as a Probation Officer. I now work a full-time job, and have to commute to work as well.. which means that I simply do not have the time to devote to e-mail that I once had. Or, for that matter, to restore cars... Over the past three months, I have done my best to keep up with the flow of questions and notes from friends on the list. My best is no longer good enough - I can't keep up as I once did. I have had to curtail chit-chat, and unecessary e-mails. Sometimes, if I don't respond ASAP, the e-mail gets buried... I now have a pile of about 400 e-mails I should have responded to... So, all this to say, if some of you don't get an instant response, or maybe even get no response at all : don't take it personal, I am sorry, just doing the best I can... 300'ly - and I'll see some of you in Phoenix in a few days !
