I figure you had not read it and I doubt that you know how a skimmer really works, very
few do. They just assume, that is the reasoning behind many of Randy's articles. And then
there are those that do not have a clue, many in this hobby for years and may think they
know this hobby well. I did not post this article JUST for you Wayne.
