03Jill, DanMan, & C.Rickey,
While I'm not trying to be an instigator by sound'g like I'm taking sides against 03Jill, but she did come off sound'g a little vindictive on Dan. She's not new (86 posts) & has a right to be heard, but please, Jill, in the future don't be so harsh on anyone here, especially DanMan [we're all here for the improvement of the environment, the promotion of REAL Hybrids (especially the Prius), & to HELP EACH OTHER].
With nearly 3,000 posts, Dan's technical wizardry makes him one of the best cotributors here, followed by Michelle, a research genius with over 2,000 posts, providing us with direct answers or sources to find our own answers at our own pace, & then of course, C.Rickey, the Hybrid movement's most vocal promoter, with nearly 1,300 posts, help'g to connect thousands of new customers with the best Hybrid out there now. Without people like this in our midst & hundreds more that I can't even begin to name (but that are definitely NOT forgotten), this site couldn't be as great as it is.
So, Dan, I am glad you did respond. Your response seemed very fair, consider'g the harshness of 03Jill's comments. And C.Rickey, thanks for coming to support Dan before I could get my 2 cents worth in. 03Jill, we still love you. Keep on contribut'g (in gentler tones) & someday we'll see you with thousands of posts & some will say "We couldn't have done it without her". Now, let's all get back to peace & love & Priuses (even though Prii is the proper Latin plural of Prius, it just doesn't roll off my tongue as easily as Priuses, so please overlook this one of my faults).
