If that's not what       they're looking for, they haven't said so. I've repeatedly said that any       inline switch should work: simply connect the switch contacts to the hot       wires, and pass the neutral and ground wires through. All the inline       switches I've seen should have enough room inside to do this. (If there       isn't enough room for wire nuts, one could always solder the other two       connections and use shrink wrap to insulate them.)                     --       The fashion in killing has an insouciant, flirty style this spring,       with the flaunting of well-defined muscle, wrapped in flags.              - Comment from an article on Antiwar.com (http://antiwar.com)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
