    Dead Beat thanks you for your kind comments. He would be del-ighted to be linked. Hudson barks his approval.

  3. Very flattered to have Hudson's approval! I believe that a virtual pat is not enough for him, knowing how much he favors reality and realism, so I hope you will real-ly pat him for me...
