 Amen to that. I must say, I'm staggered by the number of list members who not only admit to this reckless practice but who actually delight in giving us all the entertaining details as well.  'Twas one of our members, who, five or six years ago here, said that driving was a gig unto itself. That I fully agree with.  There is too much at stake as far as I'm concerned. Sorry to be a wet rag.
