Come on, people. Get INVOLVED!
The number of threads on this board which have wide disparities between the number of "replies" and the number of "views" are staggering.
500 replies.....15,000 views.
600 replies.....17,000 views.
3 replies..........40 views.

Let's get with it and hear from some of you.

I fit that category too Sam but everyone has been quite patient and friendly. Don't hesitate to toss your thoughts in. Even us blind squirrels stumble across a nut once in a while.

I am certainly no more than a dilletante. The board is no "professional" site.

Sometimes, we just like to argue about non-existing things. Helps to keep the mind sharp.

Whatever it takes, John. If 2 cents is what you got, throw it in.
Pippin! How the hell are you?
