MOTM

Yikes!  Please don't!  I would prefer to install the parts myself.  As you
say, it's part of the kit building experience.  I even prefer to sort the
parts myself, as I find the entire process relaxing.  (I also get the chance
to screw it up and then fix it later.)

Speaking of taxes, I better get started!
