Again I've deleted many posts in this thread.

Will people please NOT USE THIS THREAD FOR REPLIES - it's for straightforward introduction details and THIS thread is for replies and conversation. We want to keep this one completely clean so that it doesn't get messed up and become so large and full of chit chat it becomes useless to actually find anyones information.

PLEASE - this is for introduction details ONLY....

Don't use it for replies or chatting......

THIS is the one for that!!!!!
