Now that I actually have my laser, it is really interesting to put in action some of the advice that I have picked up on here.<br /> I have played around on some of the other sites and this site is the one that the others try to emulate. Keep up the good work and I am definitely on board.</p> <hr /><a name="a6721_23"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6721.23">#23</a>]<br /> 23 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Franklin (FW_HAYNES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6721.22">#22</a>] 24 Apr 2007</p> <p>Thank you for not tipping over the can.</p> <p>David and I are strong believers that the high road, is the ONLY road.</p> <p>I thank our members for staying with us on the high road.</p> <hr /><a name="a6721_24"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6721.24">#24</a>]<br /> 23 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Franklin (FW_HAYNES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6721.22">#22</a>] 24 Apr 2007</p> Thank you Franklin.<br /> <br /> The purpose of my announcement was to give a bit of prior notice of the launch.<br /> <br /> Thankfully, for those opposed to a subscription site, there are alternatives. <hr /><a name="a6721_25"></a><p><b>From: LaZerDude (C_BURKE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6721.25">#25</a>]<br /> 23 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6721.21">#21</a>] 23 Apr 2007</p> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">I think it's the diversity of David's forum that has made it such a popular place to be.
