Ernie, that's true, and Brent is on record basically taking that very position. In fact, I remember one goofy thread where he essentially said he would not install a SFT in a customer's block for any reason and for any amount of money. But remember Ernie, this is just your and my hobby -- just something to waste time on and have a little fun. Others on here actually have to make a living at this stuff (and some don't even have their Cobras anymore  ). You have to at least be mindful of that -- if I had to make my living doing something that was somehow related to the crap that goes down on this forum I'm sure I would be whistling a different tune....  |
