Not a bad read but I liked Neptune's Inferno a bit better.

Hello and Goodbye,
Will no longer be regularly checking these forums. have another project that will be taking my time and attention. A couple friends and I will be analyzing and building comparative models of identically sized US/British/French frigates from the Revolutionary/Empire periods (1794-1812) with a view to illustrating framing technique (and scantling dimensionality) between and among the three paticipatory nationalities.
There has been so much bullshit written about this, by everybody, that an objective appreciation of factual data would be an aid to contemporary historians. We have received approvals and advances from US and French publishers. The results of our efforts would have been published as a practicum in any case, but with some editing, the publishers believe we got something worthwhile.
So, back I go to bow and buttock lines and frame dispositions. Back to hull form specs and the things that really float my boat. We are working very closely with Fr. Romero, D. Antscherl, and the modeling community at Model Ship World. if you are at all interested in these ships ,in this period, look for our posts there.
Enjoyed modulating with all of you, but it's time to move on. I'll drop in from time to time and give ya'll some site specs so you can see what we are doing.
Ciao. John
John I'm sorry to see you go. I just wanna thank you for sending me a message last year after me and my wife went through some tough times with the miscarriage. It helped me alot. I wish you good luck in your future endeavors. We tried again near the end of last year and were blessed with Liam this year. Thank you sir for your kind words in a dark hour.

Good morning, y'all.
That reminds me of a debate between two Southern colleagues of mine as to whether the plural of y'all is "all y'all" or "you'uns".

Always thought these guys' guitar skills were underappreciated. Riff management extraordinaire! [&o]ORIGINAL: Schanilec
Yes that's the ticket. Thank you man.[:)]
I love these guys. La Grange is one of my all time faves. Only guy (drummer) who didnt have a beard, had the last name of beard. Cant make that up
I heard one where someone from Rolling Stone Magazine (or something)asked them why they have those beards. The guy replied that theyre too ugly to appear on stage without them.

Well, JWE + Mynok + AW1Steve up and gone, and now me too. Sick and tired of the Matrix forums and have been for some time; nothing to do with any of you guys. You can hit me up on FB if you like, but I'm bowing out from here.
All the best to you.
See you back in a week.

Back from Alex's very reasonably timed 1030 hockey game. A 3 - 0 shutout win for him and the team! I had the ref grab the puck for me. [8D]
