Thanks for all the hard work.  Just think if not for your site this list and
many other pnp gamers might not know each other!

I found the other stuff just not the books in my quick look.  I'll
look more extensively for the book links later...oh...gee..forgot
didn't look in the LINKS section ..doh..I'll check it out later.
With the book 3 and 4 stuff I did (still on my website) would
save any pdfer alot of time keying in.
