Hi, Sandy. You are so right. When we list members have fun, boy do we have
fun, grin.
Hey, how about a feature on the hook port/book port where if you want to
clean out the inside of the unit that you are able to briefly apply a jet of
hot soapy water and clean out any gunk built up inside, grin. All other
feature suggestions gave me a good belly laugh or two. Thanks Larry and Rob
for allowing us a little lattitude from time to time.

That is what makes this list great. From time to time, we do have fun.
