[Heathkit] SB-200 Problem

[Woody]

Someone cried:
"This is the second time this week that I posted a simple, straight 
forward
message and got a snotty response from some self proclaimed "water 
walker".

"I'm done........."

And then, someone else whined:  "Yes, it's unfortunate someone chose to 
grind their axe at your expense".

No!  What is really unfortunate is when someone does not recognize very 
good advice from someone who knows what they are talking about, and was 
just trying to help.
