Well said., David!
I presently do not have an M series and DUKTAPE is not usable at present.
My time is limited to do the repairs needed but no matter how late I get
home I always take time to download this list daily. Why? Because I
learn more about MV's in general and related subjects than from any other
source I have available.
I am grateful toArthur for starting this list.
The knowlege I have gained from this list is priceless to me. Therefore
I extend my THANKS to ALL who contribute here.
My delete key works just fine and is used when needed.
