One thing I like about this forum is being able to look back at history unfolding. There's a narrative of discovery, discouragement, and renewed enthusiasm in these 183 Pax pages. It seems to me that at first there was enormous excitement about the Pax, a new frontier ... but this was followed by weeks of posts about the problems: sticking mouthpieces, faulty temp lights, etc. Dark days. But then, led by a number of great explorers (jamband, willieR, Pakalolo, Dammit, and others) we figured out that it all (apparently) came down to one issue: cleaning. Now it seems that we've figured out how to clean the thing in a reasonable way and all is good again. Very cool! I wonder where the story goes next....
