i don't buy none of this BS! and don't intend to and neither should
you...
until all these nay sayers... back up these "problems" with a Scientific
Approach and
at least eliminate the variables and set the test up so that anyone
following their steps can dupicate exactly their results everytime...
don't bad mouth the parts if you can't install it or blame the parts for
variables that are uncontrollable; humidity for one! track conditions
for two...
and remember... one person's pain... may just be another's gain
