Thanks for posting that old thread.  I recall many of the now-deceased correspondents as truly decent gentlemen.  I still have the scans on cutting up a Krag stock from the Ellis Lenz book.  Will post them if anyone has not seen them.  I can hear the purists groan now.  I was "waterman" on those posts.  I used to be "waterman" here, but I got disappeared and could no longer log in, so I became Reincarnated.
