I agree with Gary.  I would check our own rating every once and a while and
it never seemed to change much.   
When I first subscribed to this list, I must admit I was bent on looking
for people looking for parts.  Now I kinda lurk and check to see if we can
improve any, by your comments, and try to respond only when I think I can
relate.  After all, I still don't own a Miata. 
Just don't offer to take me out and have me shot for it! :)
