Re: [TCML] Secondary Coil Wire

[Yurtle Turtle <yurtle_t@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, let's give credit where credit is due. This is a moderated list. The moderator kills emails that are incindiary, which keeps the back and forth, rapidly escalating, flaming email wars from ever getting started. When things get a little off topic, and it happens to be a slow time of year, the moderator may let it slide. But when the list heats up, he keeps us on topic. The TCML is a sucess because of the hard work and dedication of current and past moderators. Can you imagine how hard it would be to read every post and treat them all the same, whether you're having a good day or a bad one?

Way to go Chip, (and Terry)!
