well I for one dont mind the 5 minutes or so a day it takes to download these
messages and I find all the topics interesting, although there are a few
mistaken repeat posts I'd agree,
I mean what exactly is relevant to this group, anything thats included in the
Honda manual and nothing else ???
but I'll abide by the general consensus, after all its not my list.
so what shall we exclude from conversation ......
I think its a bit petty really to moan about someones post just because it
doesnt interest you (not you personally Michael) it may be of interest to
someone else, and like I said I have no trouble with them.

No offence meant guys.

Pete.
