I talked to secret agent Janet.
Just a hard-workin' Buck employee doing a great job on the phones.
Smart, quick and efficient.
I'm sorry, but some people here are just not reading what I write, I guess.
I read what you write, and keep in mind, the written word on the internet is typically taken literally, and may lead those reading it, to interpret what you write OTHER than how you intend!

Anyhow.......I bought a 916 and a 124 (read thread for details).
