John,
It wasn't EVEN a stretch. It wasn't "possible". And it's NOT a great
piece - just a curiosity (paperweight?)
When someone with a following in the hobby can not admit a mistake... I
make mistakes all the time - just ask Diane - and I admit it.
My last words on the topic unless other posts attempt to give this piece
legitimacy as a hub or die impression.
Ray
