I don't like the way that posts get hijacked on occassion.  Ken posted his
parts as avail, then he gets undercut by another post. Not getting on
anybody's back, but i see this all the time.  Someone posts and says "I got
this for $$$".  Next thing, there's a reply that says "Hey, How about these
for only $$?"  I say, start another post and son't pull the rug from under
the original poster.  My .02 at 0430 :-)
