[DML] Re: Product sub forums?

["Bernie" <bmanderville@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom, 

You can post on either DMCHELP.COM or DMCTALK.COM for those
subcatagories.   We all, well most, read the DML, but sub cats are not
germane to this group.  This group is an on going discussion of
problems with the cars.  Perfect example is the Red Top Optima battery
thread, I have posted even earlier about this battery and the problem
came up again.
