You started it with your denigration of Radio Shack - which I still
contend is a good place to pick up a component or two when you are in a
hurry and where most average people would go whn presented with
questions like this.  And no you weren't trying to have a little fun.
You are historically rude and belittling to anyone who disagrees with you.

Once again, you are being obtuse.  Do you understand what sarcasm is?
The comment was sarcasm since anyone trying to pass off a self
inspection around here would get cited and told to call a professional.

There is a valid reason that inspections are done by third party.

I don't expect that you will ever admit that you are wrong on this one
so, having said what I wanted to say I shall stop now.  I used to enjoy
news group sparring but lately it is just tedious.
