What should I watch for when I splice in a repair section with

too helpful.


HAH! This IS the "net". Do you (necessarily) expect any better advice
here than you'd get elsewhere on the net?

(This is not to criticize anyone's advice... only to point out that this
is just as unreliable a resource as anything else you might pick up on
"the net")

Unless you've been watching the group, and you have a notion of who's full
of BS and who isn't. Strangely, must of the folks who answer questions
here give pretty good advise, IMHO.

When I ask for advice on the net I generally pay attention to all of it,
but only follow the bits that make sense after I think about them a bit.
