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
