Toe...

I really wasn't intending to get into a piffing match with you. I respect your
time in grade and proficiency in this game too much for that. It is just that
most airplane owners live in mortal fear that some magical piece of paper makes
an airplane part airworthy. You and I know that is not true.

The most telling part of your argument is that you would look the installation
of a "magically installed" part and give your verbal opinion as to whether the
installation looked like airplane. Nor would you bitch the part on the next
annual. That was all I was trying to tell the guy...loosen up and do what is
RIGHT rather that what is ROTE.
