JR,

    I take a blood pressure pill everyday anyway. 
However,  I agree with most who have replied here in
that the magazine needs to change with the times to
keep new business coming in.  While I am sure that the
Two-Cylinders will not ever totally die out,  like
many things of the past they are only getting older
and fewer and fewer living people have exposure to
them outside of the shows..  Heck if I ever manage to
hook up with the guy I am trying to but a 1010 crawler
from I'll have one too..  

    While the narrow side of my mind thinks why would
you have anything but two cylinders in a two cylinder
magazine,  the rest of me knows better...  I see it
with all the other antique interests of mine as well..
(Old Cats,  Draglines Etc..) The 'newer' antiques
taking the place of the older ones..  Time marches
on..

          Chris
