Hi You All
Amen to the comments of the last speaker.
Remember the brawl we had when someone suggested putting all the archives on
CD, selling copies and using the money for Gerry. Didn't that generate some
mail and a lot of it heated when blokes threatened law suits against each
other. Boy I like a good stouch.
But we got over that! And I am sure we will get over this! Because at the
end of the day we all have common interests, beliefs and tales of woe all
centering around a big box like structure called a Type 2 or as it is more
commonly referred to over here as " Hitler's Revenge ".
So one and all " get a life ". Lets put the sticker saga behind us. Even
though I didn't vote in the election, I fully intend to wait until you
buggers decide on one and then purchase that. No flames about not voting,
Truth is I could not get through on the web site so I put the problem in the
too hard basket. I know, I am lazy but, " hey what ".
Ken did an excellent job and he gets my vote for citizen of the list. I
read a while ago that someone suggests that we get the finalists and re vote
for a final one - sounds good !! Knowing me I will no doubt find it too
taxing for my little brain and two overworked fingers and " where is that
too hard basket " but I promise I will try.
Until then ! consider !
