Marc, I couldn't agree with you more on both subjects. I have had the same
ting on postings.

Revising my comment on this;  Spoke to someone with a NOS compressor, seals
blew out within a few months..  Having a compressor sitting on the shelf,
even if it is sealed, does not keep the seals lubricated with oil..   A 30
year old "used" compressor will probably be in better shape than a NOS.
(IMHO).

Also, I hate to pick on the DML Moderators, because they are volunteers, but
having a message I sent out on Saturday put out to the list on Tuesday is a
bit crazy.  It is no wonder people are flocking to DMCTalk.  :(
