Yes we have no dampers

[Carl Meyer]

But, Ed, I guess you didn't get the message.  
All the S&S supporters just raved after Reno about how they admitted that they'd had problems but recognized it and had corrected it.  Sound familiar?  There was a class about S&S parts at San Diego last week.  I didn't attend.  I've heard that phrase before.  Oh! Well!
