Nicely Stated  --  The Above Is An Understatement And This is a Mild 
Observation~!~!~!
.
Most of us come from an era when we were taught not to impose on others.     
We were not allowed to sell Christmas Cards, TV Guides, Newspapers to people 
we knew because they might feel obligated to respond  --  we had to knock on 
doors of unknowns!     That teaching remains although SomeWhat 
Softened~!~!~!
.
With about 40-years as PTM member I was Well Aware of the volunteer nature 
of the organization, that people had many other Far More Important(~?~!~) 
Obligations so I actually Feared writing and asking for any information.    
But in the late 1990s, just before I joined the inet, I wrote to Ed  (how he 
was Singled Out for the Attack I donut remember)  and asked some general 
questions.    Specifics about B3 trucks brought the reply:   "I don't do 
such exotica~!~!~!"     I still have the letter  (and the one answered by 
Dave Hamley as a result of Ed forwarding same)  and this response by Ed 
still produces barrels of laughs  --  I can see the twinkle in Ed's eye as 
he wrote that~!~!~!    I came across it just the other evening~!~!~!
.
Now when I need something I make a donation in exchange so both of us 
benefit.     This is just a statement of personal convictions and By No 
Means does it suggest nor preach that All should do the same  --  we all 
know who will preach that so Be Prepared~!~!~!     How anyone else organizes 
his life is not my business beyond Me Wishing You and One And All the Best 
that Life can Bring~!~!~!
.
I echo Mark's comments above  --  THANK__You,  Ed~!~!~!
.
PS  --  Even though it Isn't Not Christmas, I am preparing my list  (of 
inquiries)  and am checking it twice~!~!~!
