If we had the budget, I'd send all you guys a bottle of champagne (providing you promised to christen a new boat with it, and post the pictures of course )

CAREFUL.

When you get the bottle from Jeff be sure to use a glass-cutter to inscribe plently lines on it. The bottle must break at the first attempt.

I am sure you have have seen films of lady sponsors trying to christen ships but the bottles would not burst, not even when wielded by gentlemen and others trying to assist. So repeated hammering and bashing of your delicate hull might just undo many hours of your handiwork

Michael

PS: it is bad form to drink the champagne and refill the bottle with ginger ale.

Michael, i did not get that glascutter remark at first, thought is was to administrate the vaporation those bottles are hardglas i now understand and there are actually avi's on the net showing your warning! how come we can cut -normal- glas underwater with a regular scissor like its cardboard, aint that a bit strange? (it is true! even in a bucket with water it works)

yipster

and Gary: 23 new members in 5 days means only some 43 nights to sleep to see 2000 members at this rate! viva Jeff
Correction: that was to quik a miscalculation, I missed the /5, its: 1000 / ( 23 / 5 ) = 217 days, but probably will accelrate.
