For the record,  If you notice the message below is not complete.  That is 
because I wrote it to blow off a little steam and intended to delete it.
This #$%^$%^^ mail program that Windows 7 uses is the biggest piece of junk 
Microsoft ever created.  I tried to delete the message and it put it
in my drafts folder.  When I tried to delete it from the drafts folder it 
sent it.

I guess it's just as well it got sent anyway.  I hope it didn't offend 
anyone but there are a handful of us that try to keep the old original ATIS 
list alive.
It's hard to do when no one ever asks a tractor question.  If Spencer or 
those of you in the inner circle are opposed to an off topic thread here, 
why don't
you talk about it around the camp fire at Portland and decide if you want 
this list to continue.  I like to hear from my friend Mattias.   I 
appreciate him
posting the link to that video and don't apologize for starting an off topic 
dynamite conversation on a nearly dead list.
