[QUOTE=Siege] I’ll have to check a few things, but would anyone mind if a Pittsburgher joins the party? I’m sorry I’ll miss a chance to meet **freckafree** , but there are some other folks I’d like to meet. Fixed coding [/QUOTE] Just don’t wear any icky black & gold, or there might be a stoning 🙂 ---

Will you be around in the Fall? ---
