First of all, thank you Arkx6 for starting the thread. I was hoping for interesting discussions for this weekend Some very interesting points are being discussed here which gives me food for thought.

A beautiful dance deserving attentive study. Thank you so much Silent Thunder.

Working on it (meanwhile I'm moving to the south of England near the salty sea). If things don't get better here, hopefully I'll manage to move to vikingland still this year. Thanks for the push rene
