[R-390] List Moving

[Bill]

This list is passive...don't be surprised if you lose many subscribers 
switching over....There's a reason it has so many subscribers still 
enjoying the posts, having long since sold their A/Non A's but still 
have the knowledge.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

> Member Glen Scott who has made a living re-maning and reselling "A"'s and other high end gear for 25 years, wrote on the list about using a torque meter to insure clamps did not slip or crack. IIRC, some responders were less than respectful to someone who is a professional.  Glen has done more "A"'s than anyone by a country mile. Members may disagree but at least they should listen to a proven professional and keep snide comments off list.
