  Hi Mike:
  
  Go for it! I appreciate your efforts to pass on the info. Reading smoke should be as common as a motor vehicle size-up: Evalute traffic, number of cars involved, damage/stability, hazardous energy involvement, visible victim status, etc.

  Mike, Pandora's box is a great idea. Just like walking in on the 10 different conversations in the firehouse kitchen, you get to pick one you like and join in!
  I'll check it out often.
  Stay Safe,
  Dave
