Kelly - Agreed!  I think we need to be sensitive to the problems of
folks who make their livings working on vehicles.  One of my clients who
has a brake/front end/muffler/etc. shop explained to me that he won't
even consider installing brake/suspension parts that the owner brings in
because of the big "L" - liability!  His suppliers will accept a portion
of the liability in worst-case scenarios.

We've got a Grand Scheme on this List!  We get FREE advice on how to
solve problems, but I doubt any of the dudes/dudettes on this List are
going to do the work for us, too.

The closet problem I have to this stuff, in my veterinary practice, are
folks who order vaccines for their animals (or buy them from feed
stores) and bring them to me to inject into those animals.  No way.  I
give them a quick demo of HOW to do it and wish them luck.  I use Pfizer
(formerly Norden) vaccines, exclusively, and have had their backing when
supposed "reactions" occur.
