Thank You Bill!  I did remember your lesson on what happened to
Ken Rand from when you mentioned it last year.  I remembered due
to the safety aspect of the discussion.  I am trying hard not to
repeat the mistakes of others. PS, I also kept copious notes on
the fuel design discussion last year - thanks for all the tips.

 One or two nice comments per year makes it worthwhile.  I just hope
that together we can thrash out some of these things and arrive at a
safer installation.  I firmly believe that the core engine is simpler and
therefore likely to be more reliable than a std aircraft engine.  That said,
the risk of an unplanned problem in the aux systems (fuel, oil, electric,
exhaust, structure, PSRU, etc) makes this a more likely to fail system
unless we strive mightily to learn from other's mistakes.

Take care, ya'll.   Thanks, Ken.
