I am not the evdl.org System Administrator, David is > > David Roden - Akron, Ohio, USA > > EVDL Administrator I am just a regular evdl subscriber and user, same as most, but I do use more bandwidth than most. That is why I have a self imposed limitation of only two newswire posts going to subscribing evdl members intrays, and the rest going to the evdl nabble archive. When I need help, I ask David, same as most evdl subscribed members do = just a regular evdl user with no special powers. Fun-Fact: >Your post reminded me of the long, detailed "ampabout adventures" posts that Bruce used to write 15-20 years ago. Good memories.< David's comment is referring to when I started the term AmpAbout many years ago. One of the major purposes of purchasing my EV was to document my daily driving and ensuing EV adventurous (and there were many though they have been wiped off the Internet). Only the EV old-timers, like David, know of them. Way-way back then, I decided to create & use a term to preface these type of posts (EV adventures/the real-deal) as, at the time, the media was not interested in them (they were paid to hate EVs). I chose AmpAbout in a similar use as the Aussie term WalkAbout: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkabout only instead of walking, I was burning up Amps, as the nedra.com folk would say, and as a rite of passage, sometimes driving in the EVSE-less wilderness, ... thus AmpAbout. {brucedp.150m.com} On Tue, Apr 15, 2014, at 12:07 AM, Martin WINLOW wrote: > > Yes.
