Greetings!

	Thank you - but I did read it!  I was just using it as an example - it
was no reflection on you relating the material.  I didn't mean to
misquote the exact identity of the individual who related it to you but
that wasn't important.  I was using it in conjunction with the dynamic
brake loss, and this from a person who  REPAIRS  PCCs, to indicate that
not all information is valid, even when it comes from someone who  IS  a
very credible source.  It is simply hand-me-down information which is
accepted as such until verification is made.
