M.T.1,
I just noticed at the top of your first post in this thread there is a "rate this thread" button. Maybe that's the points thing you speak of? In any case, I rated this thread "excellent". One reason is that as long as I stay on this forum I don't have to do the dishes from yesterday and today.

As far as "turned into the government" all I can say in all honesty is that since I joined this Club HotRod Forum instead of paying over $7000 to the IRS on April 15 as I had to in the last few years, this year I got back almost $5000. I rest my case! Thank you, CHR.
