Gentlemen and ladies - It has come to my attention more than once that these forums are not always being used as they are meant to be used — as a community of intelligent, educated users of fluid power technology. As a result, we request that all posts stick to the subject at hand — that is, keeping an open dialog going that provides readers and users good technical knowledge but also respects all participants.

Please do not resort to name calling or insults. Any such posts will be removed from the history and will be removed in the future. Please save us the hassle of having to monitor these forums and keep your conversations limited to fluid power technology. And treat your peers with respect.

Thank you.

Thanks for the reminder Mary. Sorry for any infractions in my post'.
