csdude:

Follow Bill's advice at your own peril.

ANYONE else in this group (even me) is more knowledgeable and reliable.

Bill has not actually worked on ANY Jheap made within the last 20+ years,

'Caveat Emptor' has never been more appropriate than when dealing with our
little Cooyon 'Delusions of Adequacy' Hughes.
