The Heath Community

[Christian Fandt]

Thank you David for posting this msg. I feel precisely the same way as you and
you've put it into words much better than I had been planning. Additionally, I
sense you are speaking for some other folks on this list. I felt this
discussion is a blip in the normal routine of the list and stood back and
merely observed some of the differing opinions - almost all equally valid as I
stand in the middle of the road on this issue.

Therefore, knowing now that we all have differing opinions on the matter and
that the folks who have not left in a huff understand they may simply delete
those msgs they prefer not to read, let's get back to enjoying the discourse on
the fine Heathkit products.

Thanks everybody for all the help, advice and information you've given myself
and each other regarding the Heathkit products we own (and a few other subjects
too ;-)

Regards,  Chris
