Hi Art, it wasn't a moderator that posted a link to a collection of other customizations. It was a volunteer Dgrinner (what makes the forum so awesome), named John Friend. He's just there because of his love to help other Smuggers, and his love for photography and his love for customizing.
Just want to set the record straight :)
