this isn't his first wheeling trip. So while the CV's broke on that
trail, that trail didn't break them. The sum total of all of the trails
those CV's have been on broke them.
I didn't intend to start a war, or rehash a rehash of a rehash of old
thread. I wanted Mr. Dogbox (sp ?) to explain why he thot IFS "sucks"
as he so eloquently put it. If his intent was to liven up a list that's
been pretty dead for a while then I think he succeeded......
