Good analogy! I have a Makita circular saw that has a blade protector that makes it impossible for me to see where I'm starting my cut, and depending on the thickness of the wood doesn't roll out of the way as the cut gets extended. So, I took a wire and tied the protector up out of the way. Now, I need to be more careful to protect myself from personal injury, but I get more exact cuts and much less frustration. >>> You gotta be careful at selecting the >>> majority parent! ;-) >> The what? > > The one who trumps the other!
