Don't sweat it Lex, it ain't you (per se) they're worked up about... it's 
your car. Whether that is to you a good or bad thing is entirely up to you,

    And required disclaimer; I am one o' them also, looking forward to 
seeing the machine and the progress you've made. You've worked hard to get 
it up and running. We know...

see ya in Ohio, Karl
