    Art, this is just the "Lurker's Phenomenon" coming into play:

    "The less you post, the more likely that something big will happen to compel
    you to post to the list..."

    Now you know to keep posting regularly about your engine swap so all goes
    well with it... Right?

    Don't believe me? How many posts start out with: "I never posted to the
    list, but always read it... Etc. etc... My truck made a funny noise, lost
    power, had to pump the brakes thrice, etc" and compare that with, say, Sandy
    Grice or Frank Elson, veritable tomes of info here, who to my knowledge
    haven't had a "loud bang with severe vibration" event in ages, and they're a
    few eras ahead of some of us young 'uns here.
