i will take the groups suggestion that i work ion one part untill it is
really ready then start on the next one. the first part i will do is the
baseplate 32 x 32 raised with ramp.
then i will do the frame for the jail cell door folowed by the archery
target. i have fixed all the problems with the baseplate that i can
find.

Also don't bother with the Archery Target, we've already seen your last

agreed..
I'd rather have someone that takes pride in their parts do them then

People have asked you 1000 times to use proper typing skills... This is
the last time I'll hear it, because if your next message comes out the

after you're talking to yourself for a while you'll get the idea....

Tamy, I agree, and I think this is becoming a serious problem.  In fact, I
just learned from Joshua Delahunty tonight via a private email that he has
stopped reading this group because of Jonathan.  This is a quote -- with

This really upset me when I read it.

Has anyone else left the group because of Jonathan Wilson's behavior?

Has anyone considered it?
