I'm back (shudder!!)  Lunatic (Mobil 1 is a PolyAlphaOlefin based
synthetic) Leon here again.

Has it take all this time for somebody to wake up to the bit about:

 "which employed side exhaust ports and peripheral intake ports"

I am that "somebody"! :-)

Dunno Paul. Only you would know that!! }:>)!!   I wasn't casting aspersions
on you!!  We might disagree on some things, and I might be argumentative
and ask a lot of awkward questions,  but I wasn't having a cheap shot at
you!!!  I have no idea if you tweaked when you first read it.

I picked it up straight away.  However, I've been doing other things the
past couple of weeks or so and have been only monitoring the list (in case
you haven't noticed!!)..  I didn't have time to point it out,  and I was
sure somebody else would eventually pick it up.

When I first read the article,  I thought "Hmmmm,  this has been written by
some idiot working in the advertising department who couldn't tell the
difference between garlic and ginger!"  Just goes to show you how urban
myths get started ... eh??!!

I missed it the first time I read it. I tend to skim the mundane.
