Kudos Tom, manners make a man and manners cost nothing. Might get myself a
drink to that. One thing that does cross over into the lack of civility region
that does bother me is the lack of email responses on a one to one basis, there
does seem to be quite a fair amount of that in this hobby. Just one thing I
have noticed and think needs taking onboard as a whole.
Anyway, will enjoy this jack daniels and retire for the night.
Andy
