Hello. I suspect it "his" may be a typoed "this". am I right?

Anyway. I've seen some of Southnarc's stuff. Just recently purchased the PUC1 DVD. And I've been at the TPI forum from time to time. "Innovative" might be the best word to describe the thoughts that go around in there if I had to use only one. Welcome.
