[AT] Off Topic Parts for old tools Thanks

[Cecil Bearden]

I just want to thank the list, especially Milo for the assistance in 
finding a switch for my old saw.  The amount of knowledge that is 
available on this list is really amazing.  I feel honored to be 
considered one of the group...  Thanks again to all!!
