Plus, of course, as the newcomers progress there is the option of
totally
home brew designs (ie not from kits). As a group, we should be
encouraging
M3s to progress so let us not get bogged down with this.

Thanks for clearing this up Brian.

I for one support the M3 licence scheme and the progress up the licence
classes to gain more skills and aid self-development.


I never doubted you supported the scheme, I just want to 'kill' a common red
herring.

Good article on STELAR in the TES, by the way.
