  Personally, for me, I am going to meet this Ben Tang guy in person.  Enough with decades of emails...I am going in for direct assault.  I will be coming from San Diego; I have not idea of my accomodations, nor does it matter.  I will accomplish somehow.  I have decided no go for BBB; this adventure is more important.

  Yeah, the list is, well, quiet. I blame it on BenT who is floating around the ocean these days, mostly, instead of posting to the list as god intended him to do.

 Lubrication helps. I like spray on white grease for latch & hinge. My annual ritual is t remove the track cover and clean & lube the rear mechanism and lube both latches and all the rollers. (Sure wish that one of our vendors would offer a rebuild kit for the pre-’85 sliders.)

And yes, List traffic has dwindled to about nothing. We may be nearing a time when the best thing to do is just let the server be an archive. In my time, it’s gone from hundreds of posts/day to 3 or 4 a week.
