You are correct. And I had shared some of these details both from Matador as well as Spear some time back with you, Gutcho, and a few others, in three or so posts. Bill Rogilos's forth rail and other blog sites had short blips to this effect.
But is was nice seeing our Freepers having a bit of happy responses for a change!
Watch out for stray fire works! KAboooom.
Bed time.
Watching the Impact on the Comet on the live thread tonight, so staying up a bit longer.
