Fwd: What areas we do not cover. Yeesh...

[Guest guest]

OK, I was just trying to lighten things up a

little, relax would you. You're right, I am a

newbe and tend to get a little cheeky at times.

I appreciate the site very much and didn't know

you were the owner. I did not mean to be demanding

at all and the articles are very good by the way...

 

Respectfully,

 

Dave
