Do you really want to through it away. Fashions come and go but forums like ours is about people not about material. Every post is put up with passion. It is up to you. Maybe more of Au Revoir "see you later" vs A dieu - Farewell. Bill

It is much more rewarding to hunt the correct ( and nice ) spare parts.
