Mike,
Don't run off on my account. I am certainly not offended and was serious about getting your input on what is needed in the book - always looking for ways to improve the content. You certainly have not started any kind of war with me. I am certainly no "hero", I am just an ordinary guy (it is kind of nice that some folks feel compelled to "defend" me though

). Like you, I am not sure what to think of the post with "ole Sam", but I would ignore it and go on. I think you will find most of guys here are friendly and helpful, if you give them a chance.

Sorry I was not more helpful with the soldering issue. I did not understand what you were up against.

Ellis
