( mrs. and I had a couple of days away at a mountain resort just recently ... just above the second "e" in Lake Geneva on that map... maybe 15 miles from the french speaking area and not a soul spoke french )

this is my very first post ( please hold your applause ) and the last forum I belonged to pretty much insisted that newbies posted an "introduction" post or face the wrath of old timers.

so here I am.

thats it. ( for now )

No intro thread required.

The regulars savage the newbies on general principles around here.

We're a much more mature forum.

Oldest on the internet, actually.

We're quite welcoming, just so long as you kids stay offa my lawn.

Before the crash we would have been happy with 250- 260 but now that is a fair price for that market

For the rest of you---- thanks for the welcomes !!
