Thank you for the suggestion Denton! As you know I have been the butt of much
criticism for being too commercialistic on the list. On the other hand a
large number of you said you appreciated my input and found the info
informative and not commercialistic! If enough of you true believers wanted
more info I will be happy to produce price info, until OLY tells me to stop
or lose my dealership!

Paul.
