Why would they be interested in another list and having it moved. Is this
not the Ten-Tec list?? Why have another?? Some people just need to control
something so they go off on their own.
Flame suit on and I'm off to the cave.

This is such an important issue, one would think that Ten Tec would be
interested in the Orion and get the list moved.
