Hi Todd!

"Graham's message you uqoted this with is plain text and contains no virus."

What the hell this this mean??? I have no idea :-))) Is this what you want me to report to Avast? No can do!

What is the problem with top posting? To read it over and over again 'till every gets it. Since you have a "reputation", I'm sure you don't need that... ......

As allways, Todd entertaining talking to you.. H...

BTW. To get that milage on "your" pads... stick shift?

Hi Number 9!

Some quick reading for your infatuation with someone having the temerity to mention top posting as a negative even though your unfotunate choice of news reader from the standards-ignoring folks at Microsoft puts the cursor at the top:

I also see that in alt.windows-xp you are seeking help for a virus infection on your computer. I'd suggest throwing in the towel on a cleanup, get your data off to an external drive, and reformatting and reinstalling XP from original media from behind a hardware firewall. You'll be back up and running to a known clean state much more quickly than you can jump down the endless wormhole of trying to patch up a modern malware infection.

To borrow your words, I might ask "What the hell this this mean?" But I won't, because I'm afraid I've lost interest.

I will offer that I have an automatic, though I'm not sure how a standard transmission would adversely affect brake pad wear.

The point of that discussion (more appropriately discussed in the thread where that discussion occurred I might add) was simply that I and others have experiences that suggest that straying from OEM pads on Subarus seems to be an iffy proposition at best. But as they say, "YMMV."

Be well. And I hope you get over your (first?) usenet flame soon. Or will you be seeking my attention on all future posts?

Best Regards,
