steve, it is near 10:00 at night

It's 1914, actually. I have two more hours of daylight left.

and you have had too much to drink. you are
incoherent.

I'm incoherent? You and Rick are in agreement, but you're so
willing to engage in . . . well, I'd like to call it debate but I
have too much respect for the art. You're so willing to argue
that you can't see that:

The same engine producing less horsepower will last longer than if it
produced max power

and:

Expensive, finely tuned Indy race car engines won't go
that many miles past 500 at WFO throttle, but will last thousands of hours
if
you don't beat the crap out of them.

say the same thing.

Maybe you should *start* drinking, glub knows it couldn't hurt
your "thought" processes.

the machine, take them all out in a hurry or stretch them out, it's up
to you.

rick just gain the hammer mechanic's point of view. Like most things hammer
mechanics say, it is wrong.

"horsepower hours" (what a weird thing for rick to say) go up as the engine
is
used "more nicely". Expensive, finely tuned Indy race car engines won't go
that many miles past 500 at WFO throttle, but will last thousands of hours
if
you don't beat the crap out of them.

Apparently you can read faster than you can think, as well.
