scary how things get passed on to newbies. JR
JR, like I said I am very new and I do not know all of the politics between you and KP where this thread was posted but why don't you rebut them over there? If you know something on the subject, and you obviously do, post so that we the new people might learn from your vast experience on the hobby. The two post by cppond and Karl do not claim to be correct but only what they found on other websites. If we can be civil and respectful your knowledge can be of great use to the new hobbyist over there. I know you and Stephen do not get along but if you were to post and avoid such confrontations it would be for the good of the hobby you obviously love. Like I said I am new and don't know jack squat and will be the first to admit it, but those are my two cents.
