They obviously need to advertise to people who are dumb enough to start
smoking.
Guess that explains the switch!

Yup, quit smoking Marlboros and any other brand a few weeks ago. It's
a tough fight, but it looks like I'm winning :)

You go Olav !!!!

I quit myself back in 87, the day I was discharged from the Navy in
fact, and part from the odd Cigar at special occasions, I've been smoke
free since, still get the urge for one every so often though, especially
after lunch.....:-)

Beers and cheers

Let's try this again, kids - there is *NO SEC INVESTIGATION*.  Jon Vannini
simply filed a required form with the SEC when he bought more stock, and
expressed the desire to have a "racing guy" at the top and all of the team
owners off the Delaware Board.

CART is *far* from going bankrupt - they have between $100 and $200 million
in cash.

While CART may not be particularly healthy right now, that has a lot to do
with the war that was fought between Honda and Toyota over the last few
years, and the very skewed economics that came out of that war.  There will
be a retrenchment, but the series will, in the long run, be fine.

CART as a series is still alive with a formula that'll remind many of a
modified IRL.  The CART series that many knew & loved, however, is dead.

Great job!  The smokes *can* be beat.  I quit in May of '94 after years
of 3+ packs a day.  The extra money has come in handy. :-)

Chewed Skoal for 20 years.  Next week(the 13th, actually)will be one year
tobaccoless:-).  I consider chewing to be the harder of the two to quit(not
to mention, the more disgusting) with direct assimulation(sp)and roughly
10x's the nicotine of cigarettes per dose.

Hey, if I can do it-YOU can do it.  Kick it in the ass,,,you'll be thankful
for many years to come:-)  Good luck bud.
