I hear all of you when talking about the restrictions of some of the forums and really have to commend the list owners of this particular forum for running a somewhat looser ship, thank you guys. Kudos to you. You never know what little minor tidbit of info is going to set off bells in someone else's head that just may just be the lead that you need. Now I am going to post my PIERCE info just so I don't annoy anyone with my mindless chatter. Good luck, everyone, in all of your searches!
