I think it will be.  I've seen everyone's talent shoot through the roof this
past year.

Thanks, I'll be doing another update soon.  A lot more photo tips with
specific examples as that is what people seem to need information on the most.

I totally agree with you.  I've been commiting many sins lately it seems.
I'll have to make some changes so there is no confusion.  But to make a long

want it have emailed me so I haven't had a problem.

I addressed this in my post to Brian, but yeah, I'm safe for now but I might
just do as you suggest to avoid any and all possible conflict.

Thanks, the foundry is only two large grey baseplates wide.  I might be
redoing one for brickfest that is 3 baseplates wide.  We'll see.
