Jake~ ps. hi guys :)

Hello Jake,

Not too many left here anymore. Just like  you .... some pop in every once =
in a while.=20

It's a lot nicer here now but not too many newbies come here. I believe tha=

ill the same way now as it was back then and just move on. Also, seems as i=
f every mfg, trade mag or anybody who can type with one finger has a websit=
e with a "forum" of some sort.=20

Whatever. There seems to be just enough going on to keep what few of us are=
