Congratulations Scott and, as ever, keep up the good work. I haven't really been too active in the forum or the hobby lately, but I do still tune in and love to keep even a lurking connection with all the fine people I've had the pleasure of meeting through MOPO over the years, not the least of whom is the gent onto whose post I tacked this greeting. Hope to be a little more active in the near future. Happy Hunting to All, Fred Sliman
