Gale:
Well, I'm sure that we all aren't going to come to total agreement on
exactly what's best and not best to post, but I will tell you one thing I'm
very sure of.
Of the e-mail lists I belong to (and there have been many), this has by far
been the most helpful, informative, friendly, and civilized of them all.
I am truly happy to be a part of our little community here, and I sincerely
hope that everyone stays on the list, even if things get a bit challenging
sometimes. We all have much to offer each other, which is why I would think
lists like this are created in the first place.
Thanks for listening, and vy 73 from Tom behler: KB8TYJ
