I've seen a couple of negative comments on John's
instructions on the list. Now that I've used both John's
and Paul's (successfully) I'd have to say that John's
instructions are actually good, they just tend to be
written to someone who has some electronics experience.

--LH--
This could be interpreted from what I have written about being spoiled to
Paul's instructions and fiding John's less complete. I hope people are not
interpreting my comments as negative. They are meant to be constructive.
John and I have shared some personal mail on the subject too about things I
think could be "better" in his instructions. My apologies if anyone
(espeically John) has viewed my comments as anything negative toward John.
I think he understands I am trying to be helpful.

I used Larry's instructions to verify my work before I dared plug it in. It
was really nice to have the 'Paul' style to refer back to just to make sure.
It really boosted my confidence level just to know that I got it right!!!
Thanks Larry!!!

Thanks Al. It was a fair amount of work to write them. It is good to know
that someone is getting benefit from them. Now, I don't claim that what I
do is "right" I only represent it as "what I did" in case someone wants the
benefit of my building experience. I am wondering if others have used my
"caulk" method for securring their LEDs.

Is it just me, or do my two comments above sound like I am an Enron exec
with my lawyer is standing behind me, and I am taking the fifth and using
standard disclaimers? <snicker>
