Greetings Horace,
                           Glad to see you out of the closet. I started
using steam about 10 to 15 years ago, and shared my findings with a small
group of Baldwin techs, on condition of anonymity, then I got bolder with
chapter members, but ended up  being nick named the closet steamer when I
stepped out. Welcome  Horace the flush voicer.
 PS I will be teaching a steam voicing class in Kansas and will demo both
steam and acetone for the extreme cases.
Regards Roger
