Thanks for taking the time to make your first post to point that out. I'm Great at something! You're partially correct. I get this from an email that is sent to me daily. It's good info and I post it here and at another "hub" hoping it will help fellow hobbyists. Never claimed it to be mine nor do I have any hidden agendas. The vets on these boards know this. If anybody else would like to provide this info, I'll gladly step aside and not make the effort daily. Good luck people!
