Queen - sorry that you do not have a sense of humor.

actually, i *do* have a sense of humor. as a matter of fact, i *used* to do standup comedy in SF... but it didn't pan out.
now, some would see failing at standup comedy, then saying it didn't *pan out* as a something of a humorous comment. while others wouldn't appreciate the humor... or even the attempt at humor.
(don't worry about my failing at standup comedy; i finally found my calling as a professional cat herder)
As far as wasting time.......nobody twisted anybody's arm into reading this thread.

agreed. i'm sure most people initially read it for a variety of reasons, chief among them the use of the words "moral dilemma".
Don't like it, then go mow the lawn. Be sure to fertilize afterwards.

until you said you'd made it up and were jussst playin' around, people believed you were earnest and so gave your alleged dilemma thoughtful consideration. count me among them.
come to think of it, though, while other people used the word "honor" in their responses (count me among them), *you* never actually used the word "honor" in your posts, so my apology for making that unfair assumption.
Newsflash for ya. Do a search on what the April Fool's post was in 2004 and get back to us. I'm eager to hear your reply on that one.

*my* interpretation of that post was that it was fantasy-time... everybody gets to play out their dreams a bit. truth be told, lud could well have wrapped that stuff in a nice 'n' tidy document and fired it off to honda as representative of the prime membership's collective thoughts on the next gen.
that said, i rarely get to hear an adult use the "but mommy, johnny said it was ok to set fire to the garage" defense.
To set the record straight, the car is sold and is scheduled to arrive this afternoon.

based on the pm's and email's i've received, i'm sure many people are relieved to hear this and will sleep much better tonight.
it's been fun, but i really *do* need to clean my sock drawer, followed by some serious cat-herding.
