Message	It is a shame that MS is discontinuing his manifolds. I never have considered him as a competitor - more as a colleague. For guys like he and I, this really is a labor of love and never has been about "getting rich". I know, from reliable sources, that Mike's dedication to producing his product has come through the rigors of personal health issues and corporate espionage (AMS, AMS, AMS, and AMS), for the sole purpose of making the product available to the community... It has NOT been easy for Mike to do what he has done and all of you should be VERY thankful to have had someone like him a part of what we all love. Enthusiasts soon understand each other. --W.
