[sdiy] funny list stuff going on????

[Michael]

Folks:
Is anyone other than me receiving each message three times? This is the only
incoming mail that appears to do this, so I'm wondering if something is
going on specific to this list.
Thanks,
Michael

The Harley is good marketing, not good engineering. The Vespa is both good
engineering and marketing. Over 15 million are made to this date.
Harley engineering: If it needs to be stronger, we make it bigger. If that
makes it ugly, we chrome it.

/Jorgen - rides a Vespa too, which celebrates it´s 40 year birthday today
(1962 model).
