OK, My mail is working again, time to catch up. Don O, if you want to break it into 2 groups that would be fine with me. 15 is easier to tie right now than 25. but it is what you decide. Jimi
Graeme, The swap filled up so fast, some folks got left out. The swappers are not wanting to expand the #of tiers, as I only wanted 20 to start with. If Bart drops out for Rene, I should be able to get you in at #26. If not, I may go to a swap A & B with 15 tiers each. We'll see.
