The general message here seems to be that sooner or later, your email will offend someone.

@ferric oxide: The picture you posted, though, was of a Mustang II with the optional Landau top, which could be had with a 302. When Ford moved the Mustang to the Fox chassis (which oddly enough also handled the Fairmont and Granada), the 351 became an option. I'm not sure if you could get it on the Pinto-based

@ferric oxide: Sorry for the late reply, but the high-end Mustangs ran 302s or 351s, not 305s. Funnily enough, you could even order the Granada with a 302 and four-on-the-floor. My mother had one in "Antique Cream." She stopped driving it after 25 (!) years because eventually the second transmission's reverse gear

@eyjafjallajökull: I like that corny jazz music. Unfortunately, thanks to a steady diet of Ginger Lynn Allen and Savannah videos in the late 1980s, my limbic system has been crosswired, and...well, let's just say I have to be very careful going to Spyro Gyra concerts.

@karmaghost: Enough with the damn jaw thing. Losing his jaw does not take away Ebert's right to free expression.

@esarphie: ...in your view. You're dealing in absolutes that there is no way to prove.

@TheBeege1: You're criticizing Ebert's relevance, which he has achieved through his work. Tell me again how you don't waste your life.

@TheBeege1: If you stop commenting now, the amount you contribute to the general good will increase.

@Alchemistmerlin: He's not sorry for doing something wrong because he didn't do anything wrong.

@A.Jaswal: Your idea that studios "bend over to make him happy" is just absurd. After Transformers made a great big ol' pile of money, Paramount/Dreamworks gave Michael Bay cart blanche to do the same thing over again but bigger—exactly what Ebert would have said NOT to do, and over and above his devastating review

@All_Thumbs: Even so, if you don't keep careful track of your eyes, they'll wind up sideways on the same side of your head.

@critter42: I think you hit him right in the modern area. ;)

@zelaskjd: And of course, your screed will certainly result in a Pulitzer prize like the one he earned a few years back.

@Witness1: Well, if the project is a parking lot, I think it could be argued that it's more of a civil engineering project than art. Then again, I've seen some gorgeously opulent parking lots...

@eyerot: ....because our parents, teachers, mass media (except of course for advertisers), co-workers, significant others, and/or bosses have all repeatedly told us over the past four decades how meritless video games are (to their perception).

@Kyderdog: ...for you. I still remember the hours I spent playing "Adventure" on the Atari 2600—30 YEARS ago. In fact, my grandmother still has an Atari 2600. Granted, that doesn't cement the premise that "Adventure" is "art," but it is a shared experience that for some has indeed lasted through considerable time.

@MTVAH: I think people miss this point and just blindly rely on Critic A or Critic B to tell them what to experience and how.

@NorwoodIsMyHero: The trouble with your idea here is that it implies that even if we really DO have a given credential or experience we specify, we should just not mention it lest we invite ridicule or gainsaying.
