Howard, Those are two good questions. I have no idea who made the rules for the English language, but my mother said that she would whip my @$$ if I didn't mind the teachers and get good grades in school. In that case, she made the rules. I guess that I am old fashioned. I like to be able to figure out what a guy is saying without too much guess work. It seems like those with the guns or the money make the rules, mostly. On a slightly related note, I think that it was Utah Phillips that said ' An anarchist is some one who does not need a policeman to tell him what to do.' That always made sense to me. Why you should follow them is up to you. I kind of like it when everybody drives on their own side of the road. I'm also in favor of ethics - you know, the stuff were you treat people the way that you would like to be treated. To be in your face, I'd say that you follow all kinds of rules, some of them have never been even considered by lots of folks. I saw one of your recent posts where you thought that you might have sold someone the wrong PTO casting last year and were trying to find them. Who made those rules ? Why are you following them ? Do honesty and integrety have any meaning today ? I've got lots of questions. Speaking of which, do you have anymore copies of 'A Tractor Named Allis' ?
Greg ps Gene is right, unless they replaced the fuse with a piece of wire turning on the lights probably indicates a weak charging system.
