[Al Skierkiewicz]

Fox and Mark,
I am sorry that I have pushed this subject with you. It is not my intent to insist that the devices be changed and I hope you are not taking it that way. There is no hard and fast rule that I am quoting on this subject that requires you to change anything. It is certainly possible that these devices will never fail and I hope they never do. I fear I was responding as if the discussion turned away from Victors to true engineering practice and that was the view from which my last posts were written, as strictly an opinion. I am sorry if my posts were perceived as an attack. I most certainly did not intend that when I responded.
