[SEL] O.T. Chatting via Skype

[Paul Maples]

Patrick, what is your Skype calling I.D., I will add you to my call list. I 
get on it occasionally myself and talk to Curt and Dave Croft, it is a great 
FREE way of talking to people around the World. Maybe more of our engine 
friends will get on it.

Paul
