As somebody already pointed out, there's no moderator. Plus, this "Alexander J. Ivanoff" guy has never shown his face in here as long as I've ever been around. Personally. I don't see anything wrong with eBay or other ads, so long as they say "eBay" or "FS" or "OT" or something like that so you can ignore them if you want. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Better that than be your standard type of newbie who posts (in HTML no less) a question that was asked and answered ten times in the past week. It's obvious from a reading of the charter that it seriously needs updating. It was written in 1996, when the opportunties for self-posting were very much limited compared to now. I'll bet 99.9% of the denizens of this group did not know the group even had a charter to begin with. I certainly did not, and never thought of checking for one. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

You start with 1963 ("A" being on the right side of the plate), then count up for each year (1964 is "B"). You must leave out "I", "O", "Q", "X" and "Z". In 1983 you start over again with the "A" on the LEFT side of the plate, again leaving out those certain letters. Issuance was one per year until the late '90s, then they went to a completely different system. Clear as mud!
