I agree Bruce, and a huge thank you for contacting me to initiate this thread!

[68camaroz28]

Thanks to Bruce for relaying on to Steve and special thanks to Steve for the kind words and placement on this great website. Also as you mentioned Steve in the beginning my friend Bob (aka camarocards) was instrumental after I completed the table of contents adding all those links. It became a real team effort!
Thank again,
Chick

You really should look into publishing it as a book.
