Actually, someone set me straight about Bev being a guy several years ago, after my having referred to him as a her several times. I liked you jab and story so much I went along with it as I really relate to the carrier thing but not as some heroic fighter ace. I was hoping someone would come along and set us straignt. Really was hoping it would be Bev while please ending my interest in what Bev is short for or not. I did learn a lesson though and shall refer to everyone as a person from now on. Gender neutral around here for me. On a technical side, glad some person asked the question Bev did about gold IMC stuff. Same question applies to all other surface finishes, right?
