Hi Bob, and thanks for answering.
I look forward to your site comes up. Your pages are hugely informative.
Just one last question, though. If it's not a pay-service, wouldn't it
be possible to post your old articles on your current website? I'd sooo
like to read them because they would give me so many pointers on how to
do things. Not many books are dedicated to this topic. Sadly, I missed
noticing your subscription service when it was active. Thanks!
