Terry,
My name is Steve in the country side North of Atlanta, Ga.

BTW I commend you for your service, personally I hold a special respect for those who served. In 1970 I was only 9 years old and I thank you for you part.

So far Greenhybrid has been a meeting place for a very special group of people. What I mean is that (I believe) you will find the members here generally have a different attitude than most other forums on the net.

I know what you mean by peoples defensive attitude in general.
For example, I've expressed my opinion on seemingly explosive environmental topics on other forums (Hybrid cars, Edmunds etc) and recieved no less than death threats to me & my family.
I really like to help people with tips on better FE and made the mistake of posting some at Edmunds. Sadly, I've stopped posting tips there for only jeers, false statements and ridicule. Life is better than that.

I know many if not most folks here at greenhybrid disagree with me about some topics but so far I've been respected for my views, as I also respect theirs.

That's the main reason I keep coming back.
The people here are really that great.

Now if I can only figure out how to fix my signiture!!
