AggieDave 6 #426 February 8, 2008 You know Todd Spillers has forums setup on his DZ's website and its the best way to get a hold of him. http://skydiveaggieland.com/phpBB/index.php You can PM there so its all nice and private. He's "DZO." I've had an Aggieland.com e-mail account for around 5 or 6 years now and its been hit or miss depending on the host (not the end user). I think we've got that worked out finally, though (switched hosts).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

packerboy 3 #444 February 8, 2008 So.... This is an awful long closed door meeting I guess. Nothing yet? Sounds like some people still need convincing of something. It would be interesting to know who is doing the convincing and who is being convinced. Kinda like waiting for a deliberating jury... -------------------------------------------------- In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. ~ Thomas Jefferson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
