   This is the 94th post on the basics of separating fly-shit from pepper - oops,   
   how to jump-start a vehicle. What we have learned:   
   a) this venue is proof-positive that common sense is rarer than an ethical   
   politician or a moral evangelical preacher.    
   b) that this venue exists to give the most impractical, obscure, possibly   
   dangerous advice to the mostly lazy, ignorant or otherwise challenged   
   individuals who appear to look for and cherish such device rather than seeking   
   it for themselves, or reaching    
   out to organizations that actually might know.    
   c) that if there is an opinion - fact-based or not - there will be an   
   equal-and-opposite opinion - fact-based or not.    
   d) that the posters in this venue as exemplified by the above should not be   
   exposed to anything sharper than a rubber spoon, more powerful than a D-size   
   battery (large enough to make swallowing it difficult), or requiring reading   
   or understanding    
   directions, written or otherwise.

   Now, how hard was that?
