Thanks James!
I made it a point to send posts to the list first. Yes its been very
quiet here. I was wondering if posts were not making it to my mailbox. Hope
my questions revives contacts here.
I would be posting to the shoptalkforums and thesamba lists too. Had
subscribed long ago but forgot the user ids and pws long while back. Would
make new Ids and post there. Prime reason would be for posting work in
progress pics so people can comment on those for positive input and
constructive criticism.
Wrote here first as I think this list has a lot more homely feeling with
the members bound tightly in good relationship. Its always good to see posts
in your personal mailbox rather that having to go on discussion boards.
I will post links here once I start posting elsewhere with pics. That
way listees would be able to give their input too.
Best regards to all,
Asad
Karachi, Pakistan.
