Mark, you are incorrect.........

I have posted 98% of the info from indyscan in the RR Indiana Database...I 
have some misc buisness info that still needs to be listed. I will do that 
when I have more free time..

All Public Safety info from indyscan is in the Indiana RR.com database and 
has been for about a week now...

I as well hated to see Andrew give up indyscan, but I am glad he didn't let 
all that info go to waste...

People change, and so do their interests...Apparently this is the case with 
Andrew...There is nothing wrong with that....
