Byard, I would like to add my view. I'm not sure when I discovered the VFB on the list. It was in this days when I had access to the internet but all my emails went through the PC of some secretaries. Later, when I had my own unmonitored email I joined the list. Probably 3 years ago. Had a lot of fun on the list, first lurking a long time and later participating. The VFB site however was always a great source of information and especially for nice pattern. I discovered that the site was a bit static and I didn't see a lot of new articles. I asumed that there might be a reason for this. Saw you seldom add some notes to the list. Was unlucky about it. Now, the rebirth of the site was well recognized by me. I was planning to post some congrats on the list, but you were a bit faster with this post. Happy to see that there is now action on the site. DonO's rope dubbing and Awsome Hair technic is a great enrichment of the site. I like the chat room as well. Unfortunately I cannot meet the list members very often there. As located in Europe I'm asleep when you enter the room at night.
Byard, continue the great work and keep tying...(Hope, I am allowed to quote you) Rene Cologne,Germany -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Byard Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Datum: Mittwoch, 30.
