I really must echo this sentiment, as I expressed from the begginning of
this thread. For heavens sake... I know we want to help and feel
sometimes that very admirable pang that is our Good Samaritan side....
but sometimes we need to know that walking away is not only the safest
choice, but that one which is truely the best choice of help as well.
This instrument, as I read these various posts, sounds like nothing but
trouble for all parts concerned...
