"the bit of theoretical stuff may be of some interest to a couple of our stranger members"

John, I'm always truly amazed just how much useful stuff you know, and surprised that I actually read about most of it once in passing somewhere (I hate electronic library indexes - I always have been a 'stack browser') and forgotten most of it...


"You must be one of the "stranger members" if you actually read it.(?)"

Really strange, mate - I understood it all... :-P

I once owned a Healy 100/4 (NOT an Austin Healy!) which I was restoring - till my mum drove me mad and I disposed (to stop the nagging) of it still in bits. Cost $440 - cash received -$200 - vale nowadays $55,000.....


"Just remember that even when there are "rules" there are also "creative designers" so don't expect anything to work all the time"

and the mongrels now write software for Microsoft ... :-)
