And further more.... (half laughing now... but have to respond to this anyway...)...

Beckett, I do make a lot of mistakes... and I promise to admit them as such each and every time you can post concrete evidence to prove my statements wrong... but up to this point (in this Hella Kit thread) you have only put out your opinions with no facts...

Instead, you have relied on our acceptance of your credentials as an EE and your use of character assasination (argumentum ad hominum [sp] for those logicans out there)....

While I'm sure many will accept without question the opinions of an EE (Electrical Engineer), I don't feel that exempts you from supplying facts to support your arguments. Even engineers make mistakes. After all, Automotive Engineers at VW designed the head gaskets on the vanagons didn't they? And Electrical Engineers designed the headlight switch on the vanagons too, didn't they? So I don't accept statements like, "Do what the good folks at VW intended. Do it their way. They know best." as anything other than opinion.

End of rant, Bill
