Thanks for the compliments... You should be able to find me that way I'd
think...

Sounds like a good plan to me. I was planning to ask Steve if I could mirror
the FAQ on my site, with credits to him of course.

I saw the other post about the grid leak resistance... Man, in my

This is real good price for these and they are really hard to find.


Talk to you later,
