Dave, thanks for the kind words.  Simpits was created for people just 
like you.  Face it, we _all_ had a dream at one point or another to 
build a simulator cockpit of our very own.  Some of us got stupid-lucky 
like me and ended up with real hardware but the vast majority of you are 
scratchbuilding for nearly nothing what cost governments and commercial 
companies millions.  Enjoy the resource, it's here to be used.  Just 
keep the political discussions off list.

(and please, PLEASE don't disect any more of my jokes. *grin*)
