Did I miss something somewhere, Jim? Why do you continue to belabor this
unrelated point? I offered kudos to the airline maintenance people that
contributed to my overall career safety, and you responded by commenting
that unscrupulous amateurs often scrimp on maintenance. Not only does this
have no bearing on my original comment, but it is a fact well known to all
that needs no further demonstration. What am I missing here?
