We managed to see some of the game on the TV in the restaurant. They were a great customer so I did not hold it against them.
Always respected Redline's dedication to performance over cost. When I developed higher performance polyol esters, they just wanted to see the data and get samples without even asking about the price. They were in a class of their own at the time. Hope that formulating philosophy still prevails.

FIFY... ;^)
I actually get along really well with most Mets fans, actually had a guy in a bar in Soho express his regrets that the Mets had to face the Bosox in the '86 WS...he was still ecstatic about the win, but would have preferred it be over any other AL team (Yanks would have been the best choice in his opinion).
To be honest, some of the best ballpark discussions I've had have been with Yanks fans, in Boston and NYC. A few bad apples spoil the barrel on both sides, the stupid "Yankees Suck" chants drive me nuts and really just reek of an also-ran approach to life.
Also, thanks to Hib for bringing the Driven GDI oils to my attention, I will take a peek at those for sure.
