    You are correct. This is a strange production quirk but think of all the 
money you'll make over a lifetime fixing those problems. Yet it's the way 
they do it. 
    Vertigris and teflon made me tons a money. Hey maybe it was planned that 
way. God Bless em.
  I think Dave Stanwoods ideas have a far wider application but probably got 
his initial boost from fighting these problems you mention. Don't you think?
