Jim,

WE must be twins walking in an alternate universe!!!

I could have written the same exact words.  Boggles the brain.

problems?"

The only thing I can think of is that "WE" care more than all the rest
about what we do or work with.

I have been saying for years that if you don't tell someone there is
a problem with "XYZ" then they think what they are doing is perfect.

It rarely happens but, I think "WE" need to be seriously compensated
for out expertise in finding this shit!!

For me I was compensated a few of years ago and it just paid off.
I received a SK-5820XL from SK as a thank you for finding and helping
with a serious problem that they were not aware of on the production
line.  Just installed that free panel and presently getting ready for
final inspection.  $$$

Later,

Les
