[sdiy] What the heck is this?

[John L Marshall]

Gene,

It is way past time for me to post some of my more unusual modules on my
site. Time to get off my prat.

But then there are others on this list building strange modules, such as
those modules that look like cats and girls, and some that use fleming
valves.

Take care,
John
