RE : Um, Ed... no, you haven't. I'm not talking about Kadee's #5 couplers that
have been around since the crucifixion, I'm talking about the new, "scale-head"
couplers... which have not been around for anywhere near 35 years... maybe 4 or
5 years at best, if memory serves me right.

RE : Well, go back and review all the coupler talk from over the last few days
and you'll see that this was a concern that someone brought up. Oh
nevermind... I'll quote it for you : (see below)
