Well, it appears that I have survived my review Or perhaps my belabored preamble scared people away

Now I await Tiny's word that he is ready for his tie. Hopefully his jacket conversion is well underway...

And I agree with Cygnus and KFCarter that an ABF tie gallery thread is in order. Perhaps it should be thrown open to anyone with an ABF tie though, and not just people in the chain. It is, after all, a worthy charity!
