You might want to rephrase the first part of that. I have never been
trained in computer repair. Or in soldering, Or in using machine tools.
You know what I mean! ;-) "Trained" as in understanding the equipment -
self-training by reading, dismantling etc. is perfectly acceptable. I never
think of training as always meaning having someone looking over your shoulder
and telling you what to do.
The propane grill's an interesting case (although I'm sure it relates to air
compressors) - even then I wouldn't expect someone to be messing with valves
unless they knew which way they were supposed to be turning (or hooking up
lines), but I suppose it's hard to guarantee that it won't happen at some kind
of social event...
