Folks,
I believe that Steve's original post was intended to query the legitimacy of
the product he was talking about. He should not be blamed for anything. He
was sincere. The fact that a bunch of us, me included, responded to some of
the non-technical responses just happened, that's all. People were venting
and adding personal experience they may have had. Deleting a message without
reading is fast and easy.
I had a similar experience a few months ago when I asked about "cordless ESD
straps". I honestly didn't know that this item was not technically feasible.
It also brought out a few NTC responses. But hey, if you don't honestly know
something, this is a great forum to ask. I would hate to think that you
might not post an honest question simply because it might result in some NTC
responses.
I apologize to anyone offended by this NTC post.
Hey Earl, you don't need to take a few weeks off.
