Re: IML: Budd Rotors

[Jeff Ingraham <jeff_ingraham@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
 I would like to say that I also received an email
with concerns by an IML member this week (3 days ago I
believe) and I for one am very thankful that Leslie
took the time and effort to followup on this members
concerns.

It sounds like all is well and we will have our rotors
soon.

That said I felt Mr. Woodsides personal attacks on
Leslie were completely inappropriate,   
These questions came about this week so they were made
public this week.  Period.
There was no secret plan to derail the project and
since we are all volunteers here, until Leslie took
the time and effort to research the questions, they
did not come to light till now.

So a very public Thank You to Leslie for caring enough
to look into this and a Thank you to Shaun for
answering all the questions and for taking paypal!
Jeff
