Outstanding! Glad to get all the opinions and technical info. I hope this thread keeps going for awhile before we get at each other's throats. So far here's what I've gleaned: Use separation if you can. Use good equipment. Trash crashed equipment. Make good sound mechanical conections and secure them somehow. Keep asking questions - there's a wealth of knowledge out there -- no sense in reinventing the wheel.

Thanks again for the help - keep it coming
