> correct spelling.
>
> One to post the old joke about "Hams don't oil their machines
> they just take them to the junk yard when they get dry."
>
> Two to post that "Oil's" is incorrect grammar, and that the
> plural form of Oil is also Oil.
>
> Three to post that the "Oil's" / Oils postings are Off Topic
> as the current discussion is about what kind of oil and grease to use.
>
> Nineteen to post that this group is not about Oil or Grease
> and to please take this discussion to a petroleum forum / mailing  
> list / chatroom / whatever.
>
> Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use
> oil and grease and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.
>
> Two to say "I'm having to change the oil in my car tomorrow at work
> in the parking lot during lunch hour, and therefore it is relevant  
> to ME".
>
> Thirty-six to debate which method of oiling and greasing is
> superior, where to buy the best oil and grease, what brand of  
> lubricants
> work best for machines and what brands are faulty.
>
> Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light oils.
>
> Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post
> the corrected URL (bracketed inside < and > characters so that
> word wrap does not break the URLs).
>
> Three to post about links they found from the URLs that are
> relevant to this group which makes oil and grease relevant to
> this group.
>
> Thirteen to link all postings to date, quote them in their entirety
> including all headers, trailers and signatures, and add "Me too".
>
> Another four that again quote the above "all postings"and add "Me  
> three".
>
> Five to post to the group that they are quiting the list because
> they cannot handle the oil and grease controversy.
>
> Four to ask "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
>
> Thirteen to say "Google is your friend", or "Do a Google search on
> oil and grease before posting questions about oil and grease"
>
> Three to tell a funny story about their spouse/cat/dog/parrot/whatever
> and oil or grease.
>
> Riceguy posts and says "I have 20 quarts of oil and 10 pounds of  
> grease."
