Actually - not to hi-jack this thread with reality........

On the 944 e-mail list, about 5 years ago, someone posted a "help, my car won't start" e-mail... Some guy replied (names are obviously not something I'll post ) - and tried to help her out via e-mail, so they trade a few.... They found out they lived about 40 miles away, so the guy goes over to help......

Fast forward about 14 months..... They get married.....

Fast forward about 12 months later - they have their first child....

Fast Forward one day later, after the birth - and "the guy" call me and signs up their new-born son as a Rennlist Member, just to say "Thanks"....

Yea - it's happened...

John, that is something. Kind of a 6 degrees of seperation thing, eh?

I think I know them. Here is the happy couple now.

Great story, John

the thought occurs to me that you are sort of a high-tech Cupid...

Phil,
You did a good thing. Everyone is having a ball with this thread. My last post is still making me chuckle when I see it. I don't know about you but I think it's hysterical... but then again, I'm wack.

mnmblu,
You were not around about three years ago when I started such non-technical discussions. Got so much flak I left the board for over 6 months...

DJ, I could say the same about your last post. And the answer to your question... no.

Yes, you could, but no one would think it was funny.

My point exactly.

Also, glad you have anointed yourself the spokesperson for everybody.

You sure post a lot for someone who has nothing to say.
