[W126 Coupe] From today's Wall Street Journal

[Bruce Mendel]

You guys are too funny.

One guy thought you wrote it Gerry, and jumped at you a bit early. The other guy typo'd so no harm/no foul.

Everyone else, including me, would miss your collective knowledge on the list.

Ok.....ready everyone? 

<GROUP HUG>

All better now. Stay with us Gerry!

  Camran,

  I sent my note before your email landed in my inbox. I wasn't trying to beat anyone up over typos. I just wanted Gerry to know that I think this list is generally a friendly place to post.

    Robin- I already appologized to Gerry; honestly the e mail went out wrong.  For goodness sake, I wasn't trying to be nasty; will you guys overlook my stupid e mail?!!  Sorry again!
