Lauren, there ain't much room in a channelled ''A'' to get 3 pedals in!More POWER to you for not takin' the easy option and go auto.

This is definitely a fun thread to watch. The coolest part, in my opinion, is that even though it has not been going on for too long, it is easy to tell that the quality of craftsmanship is increasing with every post. Keep up the good work!
