Hi Jack,
it wasnt meant as abuse - merely that I didnt understand Lauras
references. If you think being called a smarty pants is abuse, then
you have had a VERY sheltered life - or perhaps its cultural, - BTW -
I went to her site and read the papers she has there - the writing is
clear, succinct and on a level that I can understand. Maybe it was
asking a bit much for Laura to "dumb down" her reply, and I have no
right to expect her to do this. But I rely on these groups as
tutorials on the wide variety of things I dont understand - I am a
mere technician who spends his working life trying to figure out what
the design engineer was trying to do and why it failed after only a
few months in service.
