Just wait until you have the upper hand and then pile on. But in good, malicious humor.
By the way, can you model a SPAD 7 for me? I cannot seem to get anything done on my project since Spadmaker was banished, and since we had our third baby. Baby jokes anyone?

Pete,

"Ready room humour", perhaps so, I took it as a 50/50 chance it was a typical forum attack and responded that way. My stupidity then for letting it get to me.

I will tell you this, the local mid-air shook me up! Reason is because I have seen too many rivets up close myself. Too much density down low around here. So you hit a soft spot, but I figure it maybe was bad timing and not so much a thin skin issue.

My CAD modeling is slow going as it's not my area of expertise. I learned it specifically for a retirement project like this. As it is right now, I can't commit to taking on anything extra since I barely can get my own stuff done. If that should ever change, I will let you know.

All is good then, my apologies for turning sour!
