Try "Roy from Pa", he's from SW PA, don't know if that's close to you.  I've seen several others from PA.  Try a directory search, and hound those suckers till they give in   ;)   Actually, you'll probably have the opposite problem, plenty of generous people round here   :)

I'm on the York & Adams county line (probably 50 to 60 miles from you) but would be glad to share what I know.  I'm still learning as I go myself though.  PM me if you want to travel this far.....Dan

I'm at the other end of the state, SW Pa. I'm sure other will offer to help too. And Dan does nice work.
