  • Cool, I’m a member of CMH also, I really like the magazines, the online Forum, the many videos they’ve issued, etc. If you haven’t seen the videos, I can return here with a list of links to some of the better ones they’ve done recently. They’ve also put a couple entire magazines online and I can get those links.
