Kevmusic,
Your first post back in March of 2006 mentions it all started back in May of 1981. So, being the engineer type I am, I figure that makes the most protracted PPL ever 28 years and 7 months or so. Now you've done it, capped it at a fixed number so somebody can come in at 29 years and steal the title from you. Regardless, I send you my heartfelt congratulations of a job well done, and a good thread besides. I admire your perserverance.
