I know we are all a polite bunch, but occasionally I like to stir the pot, so to speak. I just read a post and it brought something to my mind that might deserve saying.

I regularly get private email in reply to my comments and sometimes out of the blue. I appreciate someone asking my advise and usually give what I can. I have often been questioned without being properly addressed and without signature.

I will not reply to such email. My participation here is not designed to put professional technicians out of work. I enjoy the diagnostic pursuit and don't believe in the privacy of knowledge, but I have no use for those who take the skills of my trade for granted.

So much for my Friday evening rant, please excuse me.
