 Marv,
 
 Every time someone else thanks you for all the work you have done, do  and
continue to do on the LML,
 I feel guilty for not saying thanks myself, even though I have in the  past.
 But I just want you to know I really appreciate the tireless effort  you put
into the LML.
 
 When I started my project I did not know about the LML, and was  worried
about taking on a project like this
 (even though I an a mechanical engineer) without being in contact  with other
people that have proceeded me,
 and are going through the same things I am. When I found the LML  through a
Google search, I was so relived that it existed.
For the past year I have learned so mush about so many diverse  topics, and
had so many questions answered,
 that I have only once in the past year called Lancair Technical  support with
a question.
 I get my information from many sources, what I do get from the LML, I verify
with common sense, in books and with the manufactures.
 But what I find the most useful is the never ending topics and  discussions
that pop up. They get me thinking about things that
 I may never have thought about, and suddenly I'm installing something  like
Ice Lights.
 
 I think of the LML as a large airplane hanger filled with people that  are
passionate about airplanes (Lancair in particular),  that I can  exchange
information with.
 
 
 Thanks again!

[You're very welcome, Kevin... I'm glad that you're enjoying your time here, and especially that you value the input as much as you do.  Operating the LML has been one of the most rewarding things I've ever done, and I wouldn't trade a moment of it for anything.  As I mentioned previously, I've made a lot of great friends here and get to rub virtual elbows with the likes of folks I would never otherwise have had an opportunity to even meet, much less communicate with on a regular basis.  Every first flight report from regular LML participants makes me very proud, as I know that in some small way I was instrumental in helping them achieve their goal.  I'll continue to do all I can to keep the LML the resource you all have come to rely upon, and am always grateful for your input... as I've said time and again, if it weren't for you guys out there there'd be no reason for me in here... this place wouldn't even exist.  Seeya......    <Marv>   ]
