What happened in 2002?
During 2002, the Stutz Homepage was still located on
a server of Fortunecity.
It was free, and easy to maintain, but there were
so many pop-ups, that you hardly found the stutzy things,
so I decided to pay for the homepage, and to make
it free from pop-ups, or any other ads.
In December 2002, the homepage was moved to the actual
address, www.madle.org.
In 2002, 12 Stutzes were added to the registry, and
a lot of sales-literature.
In addition to that, I came in contact with Virgil
Exner, jr., and Jim Milliken, next to all the other stutzy contacts.

too.
So you will find some new information on the following
websites:
Virgil M.
Exner, sr.
Virgil M.
