Oolite Bulletins

Chaps, I was impelled to offer the suggestion as it does not appear in previous postings. So yes, I did read FROM THE FIRST POST. I am not disappointed or surprised at it's rejection and am in no way offended. Quite the contrary, I'm flattered that anyone bothered to respond in any way. Do not be mi...

Heh! Looks cool but I'm still saving up for a set of golf clubs so it will be a very long time before I can afford a car they don't fit into!
