Talked to Mike Day again at Lycoming regarding replacing the spline nuts
with standard nuts. He said as long as the proper studs are used, its OK to
replace the spline with standard. So, that answers that question (and saves
me some cash). Now, if I can only find those spline wrenches...

Matt,
I see that you prepend the name of the list to the subject line on all
emails. I assume this for the benfit of people who may subscribe to more
than one list.
I find this displeasing from a UI perspective. In order to differientiate
the various emails by subject, I have to expand the email window so wide
that it takes up excessive screen real estate.
Personally, I'd like to do away with this string completely because there
are more effective ways to filter email than by subject. However, at the
very least, could we shorten this string to, say, something such as "TGL"?

Well, Joe, It's my list and I want it named Team Grumman. As for the
subject line, well, that's the way it is. I only have a 15 inch monitor and I
don't have a problem with it.

Gary,
My email was not about the name of the list. However, I'm glad to learn the
semantics of "your" list. Good luck with that.
So long,
Joe

Originally, I just responded to Joe directly. But, those of you who know
me also know I "Never leave well enough alone. " (a quote from Raymond Loewy).
I get as many as 150 emails a day. Some days as few as 90. I monitor all
of Matt Dralle's lists, the Grumman Gang, American Iron, LS6 (small block
Chevy), Apple's iDVD, iPhoto and iMovie, and I get frequent updates on products
from Adobe (software), Lycoming, Hewlett Packard (printers) and Apple. I also
get a LOT of junk mail. Most of the email I get is, in Joe's words,
prepended in the subject line with the name of the origin. The Grumman Gang doesn't
do that so, if the subject line is ambiguous, I look at the sender to see if I
recognize the sender. Being able to sort by subject line helps sort out the
junk I don't care to read.
Joe's suggestion that the subject line be abbreviated hit a sore spot. I
spent 20 years in the Air Force as both enlisted and as a Civil Servant. They
use abbreviations and acronyms for everything. I hated going to meetings and
needing an acronym dictionary just so I could understand what they were
talking about. I rarely abbreviate anything. I even spell out Drive, Lane,
Suite, North, East, South, and West when addressing envelopes.
On that note.
--------------- here is what I wrote to Joe.
No need to get into a pissing contest.=A0 I've been monitoring all of Matt
Dralle's lists.=A0 Having the name of the list in the subject lets me sort by list
and then topic.=A0 I, personally, have never noticed a problem with the subject
line having the list name in it.=A0
As for it being my list:=A0 I have been thinking about starting an alternative
to the Grumman Gang for several years.=A0 I looked into getting my own server
and software.=A0 I am not a computer programmer and what I found was outside my
area of experience.=A0 On a hunch, I contacted Matt to set it up.=A0 Over several
weeks, it finally happened.=A0 So, yes, I feel like I gave birth to it.=A0 I've
also
changed my web site to give Team Grumman its own page.=A0 So, if I get a little
possessive, I hope you understand.
Gary

Hi Gary.
Thanks for providing the backstory on this ... always something new to
learn. Hope all's well now.
Something made me smile, though...
>>I rarely abbreviate anything. <<
Except "Au" :-)
All meant in good fun.
Thanks to you and everyone for making this new list go. It's not easy.
best,
Cory
