This practical, working forum is probably one of the best communication tools for the hobby that has succeeded. I, and several others, tried this years ago - maybe we were each too early, not easy enough to use, whatever, but Simon, and his helpers, put in the hours and the results are OUTSTANDING. Thanks for the time and effort. :!: :!: :!:
