Greg: You made a big mistake!!!! I am the one who is getting flamed for saying that copying plans is stealing!!!!!!! Two of the RCSE's biggest posters have both given me grief for complaning about several guys from FL with several Ebay accounts and 1000's of combined sales of plans. When Ebay contacts them they just start up a new account. I have a number of plans that have been copied and sold on Ebay. One suggested that I should be flattered! Please get your facts correct....brain in gear before foot in mouth.....! cheers, Jim Ealy PS:Hope your week is better from here on!
