a reasoned discussion of what was wrong with the MS page, I figured it

deleted paragraph, though, it's at
http://www.trilug.org/~lovelace/ms-lies.html (I wasn't sure if I'd
want it later, so I saved it..)

I take it you mean the Subaru "Impreza" WRX Sport Wagon (I had to search

to admit, I love my 1998 Legacy GT. :-)
