It seems like it should continue horizontal until it reaches the orange ones and then turn vertical. I'd be calling that hack back to fixed it right away. ;-) |

Some years ago I did some work for an architect who wanted the screw slots to be vertical on all device covers. The reason he gave was that dust can collect in horizontal slots.

That said, has anyone here checked out the wiring on Philippine utlity poles?? Not saying anything about the people there, heck, they'd stop to help a perfect stranger with changing a tire. But some of those wiring rat's nests scream 'imminent risk of shock or fire'! |

Thats the reason I use newsgroups..... Really...you can't follow links in threads that you are interested in, yet you can post links to fake wrenches with hearts in the middle. Either quit bitching about your "dial-up" issues or stop looking at stupid images of fake wrenches. In the time (dial-up time) you spent starting that waste of a thread (A wrench for Heart Surgeons) you could have looked up OCD and not had to complain about "more initials" that you don't understand. |

I'd bet my left nut that way more than half us know what OCD stands for. (If you don't know what "stats" is short for, look it up. If you don't know what "nut" is a substitute word for, look it up.) |
