Well played Mr. Ferret.

Remarkably perceptive. Does "Fuel Mileage" go on the list as well?

Funny, as my late father was getting older, and liked to talk about controversial subjects at social events, I would give him a list of subjects( and some words) to avoid. Of course he asked what was left for him :-)
Politics
Religion
Drugs
Race
Sex

Sure want to start a good bee hive buzzing..mention tightening bolts with..or without a torque wrench. You'd think it would be a fairly safe subject, but whoa nellie I have seen some knock down drag out skirmishes over the use ..or lack of use...of that little tool.

Oh I see. For some reason I thought perhaps it was an argument over Craftsman versus Snap-On versus Chinese value brand or something of that nature.
