About the thing on the page is a membership roster.  Of course it's
good info.

And I don't dislike the NMA.   They serve a valid purpose in the
world.  It's inevitable that someone is going to cash in and cater to
that class of driver.   As for their data, much of what they have
posted is interpretitive material which qualifies as opinions, not
data.

You can bet that if I do I'll not be blaming my misfortunes on
someone/something else when I'm caught.   Most traffic violators take
their tickets in stride.  It's the whiney few that genuinely make
writing tickets fun.

Sticking your head in the sand won't make them go away.

Resign yourself to it if you wish.  I personally don't like flying a
white flag.   Just imagine what air transportation would be like today
if we had that attitude 60 years ago.  TWA 800? oh well... accidents
happen.  Next?  ValueJet?  No big deal.  Shit happens.

>Cool.

We do write warnings ya' know.   But ONLY if we're convinced they'll
work.  :-]

Don't know about you but I've got to work this week and long replies
will no longer be possible.   Hope your week is a good one.
