Re: Comments
Well said Al. However, if Don's book and Mike's site
are "two of the main reasons our hobby/sport/obsession

agree they are, then the other reason is people like
you who are stellar examples of the class and caliber
of people you can meet and learn from in this hobby.
Thanks Al. You 'da man too! BF {:^)>
