The entire thread is 'fluff', including the OP. So what's your complaint?

Should have a section on approved equipment. anyhow, Good-bye now, delete your post, as a matter of fact, account please
Does anyone know what "im sick you" means?

Dan ... you've shown over and over that you REALLY need to read the basics part of the book. Most of your questions about things you simply can't find are in the opening chapters of the book. The ones that deal with definitions, objectives, and basics. The rest of the book HINGES on a complete understanding of these sections. COMPLETE understanding. Not a passing knowledge of these sections. Often, a rule in a section you've probably read 8 times, will not make sense in every situation to which it applies (or you may think it applies in a situation where it doesn't) if you don't have 100% total understanding of the definitions and objectives section.

You seem to treat these sections as superfluous - they are not - they are your foundation.

Tim treats you with such disdain because you've repeatedly shown a lack of willingness to "get" this section of the book ... which leads to faulty understanding of pretty much everything else. Too bad you're "tired of him", as if you'd sift through the disdain, you'd find that he's been directing you all along toward what you really need to do if you want to be good at this.
