Well, I would provide boards to Randy and he could assemble them. I think
making and attaching labels, etc is too time consuming for me. Plus I
think Randy does a good job with it. There would be a lot of learning
involved if I did that, thus the lag time would increase and the quality
could suffer. I would like a small fee, say $2 a board for my efforts though :)

Look at the subject header ;)

Yes, it's possible. And no I won't tell anyone. If I tell if one person,
even through email, then it's no longer a secret. And though I think I
could trust the regulars on this list, it's easier just to keep it a secret.
