I think I was trying to express that in 1970, or 1950, I don't think you could have gotten 400 people to put on deerstalkers and gather in one place.

Unless you're lamenting the pre-SCAN era, back when STUD and SIGN were for the dedicated, you aren't making much sense. :) Lyndsay Fayehttp://www.lyndsayfaye.comnoreply@blogger.com
