[DMCForum] Re: Inappropriate Car Show Behavior?

Huh? Matt, be sure to share what ever it is you're smoking.

For the record we all got our Tubes from Fair Radio. The BASES were 
incorrect, but 9 times out of 10 tubes were good. 

As for this ebay auction, I have NO idea what you are talking about.

I must admit that it is good to finally hear the "reason" why you 
seem to be going after me with such vigor over the years. However 
wrong that may be...

You and Robert should hook up. :)
