Hi,
I most likely found this some time ago, thought it contained several good points and I copied it as a Word document to the pretty large database on Car Stuff that I maintain.
Much of my reply was
Cut & Paste from this, and other sources, it's much more efficient than transcribing it for this Forum. This is why I didn't quote a source, because I don't remember where I got it, the source is lost to me. I am certain it wasn't from a Corvette site, because I never visit them.
But, that doesn't make it any less true. None of the respondents to this and other technical threads invented any of this stuff, we're merely passing on the information we have available.
I am an author by trade (have done a lot of Ghost Writing and technical editing for several publishers, including Motorbooks Int'l.) and pay particular attention to quoting sources and giving footnote credits and have often done so here. I must regularly review my work to insure that no plagerism has occured and I am experienced in doing so. But, I don't give a foornote credit to the guy who invented the word
The. And, I'm sure that you realize that
pretty verbatim is not verbatim. I don't see a foul if that's what blue2000s is trying to imply...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
