Message	was not the question. Essentially the thread was hijacked to a discussion on wheel weight. And...I may have missed it, but it doesn't look like he "weighed" in on that hijacked thread! Interestingly enough, Sacto Todd and I had a long conversation at Zcon on this same subject. Hijacking...not weight!
