Hmmm...

Unless I have misunderstood some of the emails it would seem like I'm taking
some heat because of the cap group buy offer. As I said in my last post, I
wasn't trying to encroach on the GG territory. I just found a way to get the
caps I need at a discount and, make the same offer to others at the same
time. Heck, everyone likes to save money. In the process it seems that I may
have alienated myself from the TCML and, apparently hurt some feelings. This
was not my intention. This is a one shot deal. I can assure everyone that I
do not want to take over the MMC business. I wasn't implying that the GG was
ripping anybody off or that they weren't a good source to buy caps from.  I
have bought caps from them in the past and I like the idea that when I need
a few more the GG will have them with no minimum.

  Terry, I would also like to thank the GG. They are a one of a kind
organization that volunteers their time and resources to teach science to
all those that will hear them. It was from their website that I learned how
to make a bucket cap for my first coil. I have spent countless nights
browsing their pages, learning, and stealing project ideas 8^) So.. Thanks
GG for all that you do. Hope there's no hard feelings.
