Just a couple of observations. I think it has been longer than a year since Joe retired from the service..... and he had a new job that put him on the road. Paul is doing an excellent job of keeping the site running. I can't remember the last time I had to do any moderating on the customs board. I assume Paul is fully aware of what is going on with Joe, but they have decided it is not something to be discussed on the board. Joe's comments are missed but I know interests change. gunslinger gary wilcox
