hello

[Dirk Wright <wright@pioneer.uspto.gov>]

To celibrate the 200 number on this list, I'll introduce myself.

I work at the Patent Office in Wash., DC, and I specialize in 
transmissions for automobiles, trucks, etc, bith manual and automatic. I 
decide who gets a patent in this little area. I've been here 15 years. 
I'm 37 years old, divorced with one daugther, about to be married again. 

I'm looking into to purchasing a squareback someday, to replace an aging 
hyundai that I can't seem to sell (value is dropping like a stone). I 
hate the car for severla reasons, one of which is that there are several 
jobs I can't do myself because they require a bunch of specail tools that 
I don't have. I like old german cars because they are high quality, 
simple, easy to maintian, and parts are relatively cheap. I was going to 
get another BMW (a bavaria), but I think I want a squareback instead.
