And what is amazing, where someone inquired on one of the reflectors about 
and if companies are reading communications on the reflectors and listening 
to customers.  I'd like to point out that John Henry has been writing code 
for OMNIRIG and publishing company information on the reflectors today, 
Sunday, July 27, 2014.
Talk about a guy that gives 100% + all the time!    Although I do recall 
recently that he took a day or so off to celebrate he and his wife's wedding 
anniversary.  Smart man!
