I didn't realize it until today, but it was almost exactly one 
year ago that I put the site together. Happy 1st birthday!

Actually, much of the stuff is from the "mother list" as we like 
to call it. One of the things I really regret is not recording the 
names of the authors of the tips. In the beginning, I was just 
dumping text into a word processing document for personal use. I 
still have that document, so if the q-list archives are ever again 
set up to search back more than just one year, I may try to give 
credit where it's due. The vast majority of stuff on the site is 
not from me.

Yeah, between those details and the liquid-look paint, I half 
expected to see your or Dan's name in there. I think he had a K&N 
panel instead of the cone, though. ;^)

Like Christian said, I'm glad they didn't use my name, since most of 
the info came from the lists. They probably would have spelled it 
wrong anyway.  :^)
