   Why I like to help people with (Electron

   A frequent responder here asked me about my motives for coming on here and   
   posting my remarks on a use net post. So, I thought I would answer that   
   question.   
      
   My motives are to truly offer advice to make other people safe and their   
   equipment work to the best or optimum of its ability. As a child, my house   
   caught on fire due to an electrical short circuit without electrical ground.   
   No one was hurt in the fire, thankfully. However, it took months to rebuild.   
   Remembering this (for more than 40 years now) as I was one who went   
   through something like this, I talk to people about proper use of appliances   
   to prevent fire, shock, injury, and/or other hazards (although these things   
   are not always talked about in my responses to these post). I am a   
   qualified technician and I just bring things down to a level a lot of   
   consumers or prosumers can use, without the use of big, unintelligible words   
   in most situations, following the KISS principle.   
   The intent of these responses is to help others, enjoy these posts, and have   
   the people have working, safe equipment. The intent is to do good and no   
   intent to cause harm. I do this on my own time.   
      
   God Bless and have a great day.   
      
   sincerely,
