To warn people firstly, and see if other people have had similar
problems also. I expected some abuse as you can tell, but not 
this much. I do tend to over-estimate people though, even when
I expect insults and abuse before making the first post.

Or maybe she said that if some child wants to lick the stove, don't
ruin his life with your negativity by warning him not to do it. She 
would never have said that though. Did yours?

I wasn't suggesting for the person to use it in his situation. In mine
it was adequate for the job. In his probably not. My point was that
downstage installs are often too close to the stage for a good wash.
