From: "Marlowe" I'm glad to hear that it's just a server issue. It's an all too common thing in aviation for companies to go under (probably too many people who love flying and building and don't really care for running a business). I hope Lightning is around for the long haul. -marlowe Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=167522#167522 ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 05:47:45 PM PST US Subject: Lightning-List: Attn: Buz From: jng62433@aol.com Buz I am sorry to be so late in answering your email, however, I had some minor surgery and am just now getting back on the website.
