Congrats Dan!  I think you'll do well as a moddie.  As Jim said, it is best to keep a cool head and not let someone drag you into a war of words.  But also remember that revenge is a dish best served cold.  LOL, just kidding on that one, my friend.  
I wish I could make it to your rally this weekend, but two things are keeping me local.  First, I have a chance to possibly make a couple hundred bux on Saturday with our community yard sale.  Secondly, a postponed work day (due to weather) for an upcoming airshow has my Sunday tied up.  Give Carol my best.
