A-
I love it! It sounds like your hitting the same walls and closed minds I
did. Tell me, doesn't it just strengthen your resolve to succeed? I know it
did for me, I had so many people tell me I had no right or ability to try
this that it pissed me off so bad that I decided no matter what I was going
to study hard and build the best one I could. It is life support science but
it's not rocket sceince. Some of these guys really need to relax, they are
too paranoid that we'll figure out that they are not all they make
themselves out to be. But then again I did find a few manufacturers who were
realistic & honest but even some of them told me to get lost in the
begining. Don't get discouraged it gets better, just study hard.

BTW I gave a list of parts suppliers like Tracy to the AARG guys awhile back
and Scott made it into a web page, I don't remember the address but if he
reads this I'm sure he pass it on.

For those of you who hate this, flame on, I'm putting the fire gear on now.
