It will take a lot of work to get those mods reinstated into the new version of software since the coding is quite different.

Scott, thanks for the reply but I'm not the person who asked for the feature - I wouldn't use it even if you did enable it.

The "Trigger Happy Moderators" have ALWAYS been a serious flaw over on that OTHER forum. That is one of the many reasons why I go to that forum only about once a month...OVER-moderation drives me nuts.
I'd MUCH rather have the flame-wars of "Newton's Third" forum, where if one is an idiot, they RIGHTFULLY get called an IDIOT and much worse, than the mamby-pamby-ness of the forum mentioned in the opener of this thread.

Since it's so recognizable with you, I don't use it as a sign off or signature out of respect.

I hadn't noticed. It's rare for me to run into another Mario (although it is getting less rare.) My apologies.

Mario

PS

Great name...

Next to Tony and Joey, it was probably
the most common (Italian) name in N.Y.
(and probably in Philly too).


In Indiana in the 60's and 70's there were no other Mario's around. I was in High School before I met someone who shared the name - Mario Andretti. It's still reasonably rare around here, at least in the circles I run in.

Heh, I was talking to the "other" Mario, Mario Anleu.

No problem, Mario.

Say, would you mind posting some day how you went about putting together that limited run of SPEV kits you had a number of years ago? This was before Semroc and all. I'm sure there are people here who'd like to hear how you hunted down all the parts and such. (For those of you not aware, the SPEV uses a non-standard tube size. Well, it was non-standard till Carl came around offering them again. heh)

I know John Brohm did a ton of work getting the correct BT-52 tube dimensions.
