Mea culpa on that score too, Marshall. I realized that soon after I'd hit the 'send' button. Don't know that I'm particularly more guilty than most but I'm sure I've sinned enough.
I've about given up hope for a useful list driven archive. When I encounter anything of potential value I just forward it to my personal archive. Then at least I can winnow the chaff & can't fault anyone else for my own lack of filing skills. ;-/ joe On 8/21/05, Marshall Booth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Joe Knight wrote: > > And I thought this thread had something to do with the chain crimping > > tool.

Sort of like shelving books in a library randomly or by size!
