Kaleb,
Funny you should mention it, last time I tried to e-mail you individually I
was bounced, but I don't think I ever got around to mentioning it. My mail
is hosted by Google Apps for Domains, and yes this was a month ago so it may
have been fixed already. Just the same, the bounce is postpended if you'd
like to troubleshoot.
For the starter knob I'll probably try Jim's solution over the weekend and
get back to you if I need parts.
Thanks,
-Tim
