One thing that bugs me on the EVDL is the occasional bickering over what a real hybrid is. I especially
I've pretty much dropped off EVDL because of stupid bickering but I still scan the subject headers. I guess I missed the hybrid debate. Not sad I did either. :)

This may sound like a tough thing to acomplish, but as has been pointed out on this list many times the devil is in the details.
