Wow..... And gosh, yes... I'm interested Busby... Am loving the synchronisation..... Only one teensy weensy complaint if I want to be picky.... The digits, when added , come to 12.... Would have loved them to add to 11.... But that's just me being me...!!...on the other hand.. you talk about Kelvin's volume 3 being of interest..... So the above mentioned upset to myself of the "said" 12..... ( Not 11)....does in fact add up to 3 !!!.... So there you go ! ....Not my personal choice of number , but important nevertheless .....
