Ahhhhh, that makes more sense. Just looking at it, it's like you had kept a diary on paper and then came back every so often to put a month or a week's worth of updates in the thread.

However it got there, it's an awesome documentation of the build, and I thank you for taking the time to put it together. I know how much time it takes just to organize and type up such a thread (of course, mine haven't been that long or involved, but I understand the effort that has to be put forth).

Thanks much for getting this place up and running.

I lurked on Metal Meet for a year or so, and I found it to be so disjointed and hard to follow that I pretty much gave up on it. I just can't stand those old threaded type forums where the text just marches off the right edge of the page, and the replies all layer on top of one another in such a way that it's impossible to maintain focus on the topic of the original post.

The VB format is much better.
