REAL STORY
----------
three days ago, I called a "Musakh Murshe" for Citroen in Herzlia to
change two of my hydraulic bulbs. when I came in this morning the guy at
the front told me to leave because I won't be admitted. "but I set an
appointment!", "really? they accepted an appointment for a BX?", I
thought that was very rude so I went to talk to the manager, and he too
politely hinted I'll be getting very slow and unwilling service if I
insist to get service. the car is 13 years old and not a shiny new
Xantia. He sent me to his next-door garage, who finished the job in 30
minutes and 150 shekels less, and we had a friendly chat during his
work.

I'm not sure what the lesson is here... the point is that there is not
only one holy source, you can find another list that more suits your
needs, or the people are nicer. This is linux-il, take it or leave it.
we're coarse and ugly Israelis, and we refuse to change. I have seen
people here diss Arab subscribers, flame newbies, get into political
arguments and simply behave horribly to eachother. I hate it, I try to
avoid it, but I know I have my own crancky days sometimes. I expect
nothing more of the list, and I feel comfortable if nothing more is
expected of me.

Deal? :-))
