Gee, if people could only post from personal experience, THAT'd cut the list
traffic down a lot! :-)
IMHO, Matt's post was not only appropriate, but very welcome in that it was
verbatim copies of some of the original posts. Dunno what sort of weird geek
archives things like that -- oh, yeah, he was looking at the possibility he
may have to replace his own such unit in the sometime future -- but I'm darn
glad he did. It was most appreciated, and any perceived "violation" was IMHO
none of the sort.

speaking 25% from experience, 25% from looking it up, 50% pulled from my
[ahem] left ear)
