Regardless of the good intentions or otherwise. I won't be commenting with any specific names. The forum is a reasonable place to discuss issues. Not so good for bandying about names. I would not have commented even this much, but GK is entitled to have his comments punctuated. If I had been inclined to be specific at the time I would have done so. This is a good place to drop any discussion of specific yards. Mike Capt. Mike Maurice Tualatin(Portland), Oregon
