I for one appreciate this approach.
Sound technical information is a real asset to most of us to help us in
making informed purchasing decisions.
I felt John's response was tasteful, providing a link we could follow if
desired. I did, and learned answers to several questions - one of which
I posted earlier with no response!
I don't spend a lot of money on the net, but most of it goes to sites
that provide the kind of info John has supplied.
