[TheForge] helping anvilfire

[Daniel Kretchmar]

   I must have missed the post that said anvilfire was in trouble.  I go to the
site all the time.  I based the design for my JYH off the the NC-JYH on the
anvilfire page.  When I had question about Hammer design, Jock got back to me
within a day.  That page is one of my favorite resources.  I send more people
to the anvilfire page than I send to abana.org.

I'll try to donate money to right away.

sky's the limit!
