If I remember correctly members of this group are beta testing"
the drives that the manual is for

Mariss is an heck of a asset to our group
you don't see blatant continuous spam from him
you see lots of helpful info

how many posts for the hidden url do you want to see

if jon or dan or anybody wants to post in the files area
if it helps some member that's what it is there for

mariss was polite and asked
and bill ok'd it if it gets out of control he will stop it
