Thanks east TX Muscle cars for not burning me to a pityfull pile of ashes.

I completely agree that with proper engineering any disadvantages from remote mounting can be overcome and find it assuring to hear that STS does exactly do that.

I only respond when I have something useful to say, something absolutely new to tell or a very personal (and positive) comment to make.
As English is a second language for me, I choose my wording very carefully and cross my T's and dot my I's.

Didn't mean to bash on you but I hold vendors to a higher level of knowledge and as such I felt compelled to respond to that previous statement.

And yes, I always cringe when I see forum members or guests bash needlessly on vendors/products (whom provide us choices and competition) based solely on personal opinion, often unfounded and without personal experience.
If you have nothing positive OR usefull to say, please don't say anything.
Saves me from reading a lot of non-informative posts.

We are still friends I trust, my fellow TX's member...?
