Richard,
The one thing that has always amazed me about Usenet is how a simple
question can get responses that vary all over the place. It can provide
some amazing long lived flamefests where people argue opposing theories
(IE Ficht, Bayliner as a bluewater boat, or who makes the best bilge
pump). I have found asking questions can be an effective way to point
one in the right direction, or at least to know what questions to ask,
but it is scary how dangerous some of the answers can be.

There are a few people who consistently provide knowledgeable answers
(IE Bill Grannis) but it can be difficult to separate the wheat from the
chafe. I had not seen (or remembered) JiminFl providing expertise in
mechanical and/or electrical systems, so I really had no way of telling
if he really was an expert. To me, the benefit of his post was the
knowledge to ask Perko the question "Do I need a separate regulator to
be able to use Product X".

Now, if I had known JiminFl was truly an expert in this field, the first
thing I would do is determine if I had a separate regulator. If I did,
I would absolutely buy the more expensive A/B switch.
