[R-390] Fwd: Avoiding a bad experience

[Tom Norris]

Les, I want some of what you and Joe are smoking... LOL
Actually the smoking part fits in to how I keep track of
springs - with hemostats. I've yet to find the right ballast
tube to fit my curved pair of hemostats, it uses a different
type than the non-curved. I hear the non-curved are worth
more if it has a certain name stamped on it.

Praise be to Art

Tom
