[DeTomaso] NPC - NO POLITICS

[Paul - Home]

For anyone who feels the need to again bring politics to the PANTERA 
forum, please don't.  Let's not go done that path yet again. If Larry's 
opinions in his email bother you, send him a direct email.  There is no 
need to put this stuff on the list.

I hesitate in even sending this as it may just lead to more responses, 
but I'm HOPING that people will keep away from politics.

PLEASE!!!
Paul
