Ken, very well stated !  You must have a free  day as I do to sit and write
all that out.  Just one thing though to  point out to all the Canadians.  They
can deal with me and avoid all the  border issues.  Granted I do not keep a
full line of parts and stock as you  do and my prices are sometimes more but you
can certainly avoid the displeasure  of dealing with shipping from the US of
A.  Just a slight self promotion  add, sorry I couldn't resist, especially
since it's slow here also.

Cheers,
