[/QUOTE] Such a strident viewpoint…you’re harshing the vibe man. 😉 It’s a lot of work getting this group together, especially since we’re including San Diego through LA through the SFV and beyond. Getting people that live 150 miles apart in one time and place takes work! And at least 3 pages. 😃 ---
