just to clue such very serious minded and very little humor people on
this list who love to preach to other people how they should be or not
be, how they should act or not act, whether they are cheap or not, how to
spend their money or not, let me set my record straight. Bob Schaller was
a very GOOD friend of mine for many years, I do not beleive Sumner was
wrong in his opinion of the price or the S&H charges, nor do I beleive
TRF is wrong in their pricing of this book, the book at what ever price
is very valuable to a T/R 3 owner, but that certainly is no reason to
flame everyone on this list for your "JMO", thanks for the idea of
copying the book and then returning it, how long have you been doing this
neat idea without sharing it with the rest of the list.Glad the rain is
about to stop, makes for very long days.
