[W126 Coupe] Harsh

Jay:

I don't know if we have met, but get a grip !!

Your first reply to my simple inquiry was not only harsh in tone, but on
the verge of insulting, which I hope means you were just having a bad day.
It's fine to me that you thought the question was trivial, but I personnaly
learned a lot from the answers I received.

Your further responses are even harder to comprehend, so I'll leave them
alone.

I suggest you knock off work early and take a drive. 

Use "D" if you want (which is NOT the only gear MB supplied with the car)
and get some fresh air.

PS. I thought Taking Chance was one of the best and most moving films I
ever saw, and agree that everyone who cares about our country and the
military should see it. I also appreciate your photos and the fact that you
are taking the time to perform that service to our fallen. 

However, I also agree with the comment that this was not the time or the
place to use this, so how about we drop the subject.
