Dear Mr. Moos:
As you know Dale has asked the members cease further discussion of this matter.
The proper conduct of Dale's web-site is more important to me than the alleged presence or absence of a filler on another bike. I trust you share this feeling.
Please eMail Dale if you wish to persist. I will not.
Thanks,
George Hollenberg MD
