Thanks for transferring the info, CPRR. The "antics" at TO I was referring to have nothing to do with the members there. And yes, the threads there don't get nearly as heated as some do here. I was referring to the antics of Mr. TO himself. Several years ago, I sent him payment to join. No response. Months later, he raised membership rates but I attempted once more to submit payment and join. Again, no response. After a couple of requests that he return my check, still no response. No way I'm going to submit personal info and payment online to an outfit like that. There are enough free forums available that I don't need to put up with such nonsense. Please ask Paul Merriman what "tone" of mine he's referring to. I don't think I in any way criticized or insulted Christoph's efforts or post. In fact, I agree he got some fine shots and was rewarded for his patience. I was merely explaining why he saw so little traffic.
