Thanks Livi, your post is a compliment to our PPOT community and I whole heartidly agree with you. We started off exactly the same, my old '74 required alot of PP tech help; which I surely received. Since then I've always had this sense of loyalty with a desire to give back somehow too.
I have learned alot about people from the posters here and I've made some friends along the way. I really am more of a lurker than a poster (or poser like some here?), but I've been here lurking for 8 years now, still hangin in there.
I'm a legend in my own mind most of the time; then I get grounded when I come here; ha, ha.
