Were you directing this to me or to the original poster? If directed
to me, it seems misplaced. I have lurked on this group for a long
tiime and even made a small contribution on occassion. If directed to
the original poster, then it is not very helpful. The other poster has
already asked the question and can't go back to lurking for a few days
while his or her car sits in the driveway.

In either case, it makes no sense and comes across as sounding like
just a snotty and pointless remark.
