Maye I don't fully grasp your definition of "knife" switch.

Are you talking about something like this?

Wouldn't want one of those things within 10 feet of a location that
might have petrol vapours. ( hope I spelled it right for our Canadian
friends)

Actually no although one could argue that vapor and vapour are,
speaking relatively you understand, the same thing.

According to my handy dandy dictionary/thesaurus of all things
Englishy and Etymological, the correct spelling is vapor, but vapour
is acceptable as it is part of the word vapourous (filmy, obscure,
unable to be seen; hidden).

Just doing my part. :)

Of course, I am speaking of the 20 vol. set of the Oxford English
Dictionary, none of the "concise" versions.

This Newsgroup post is a natural product. The slight variations in
spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no
way are to be considered flaws or defects

You'd think there would be at least be one volume for each of the 26
letters.
