Thanks all for the constructive comments, and let's be available for all the
pro's and con's, at least he came to us for advice!

Let's be available for consultation in this project, be objective and do
NANFA's best at what we propose to be! After all, isn't this what we're all
about?

Thanks for all the input, members! I referred his message to the NANFA list
just for this purpose..............

Regards,

BG
