[TPR] wheels

[David in Durango]

Asa,
 (to quote Slim Pickins in some western movie) "you use your tongue prettier 
than a $2 whore!"

Cheating is unethical.  Cheating tech can be deadly.  Luckily, when you do 
that at the ORR type event you PROBABLY only hurt yourself when something 
happens.

Thanks for teaching me how to respond in a gentlemanly manner!
