My regular adult job is designing industrial vacuum systems for process vacuum. We have to, by law, put decals on our machines by the wire guard for the cooling fan that it's dangerous to stick your fingers in a rotating fan and by the control panel that it's dangerous to stick your fingers inside of a live 460 volt control panel. My feeling is that if you are stupid enough to require those decals, a) you have absolutely no business trying to install and run one of our machines, and b) you deserve what you get when you shove your fingers into a rotating fan. Just heard a story about a guy who defeated the safety catches on a sheet metal shear and removed the fingers on one hand. When OSHA and plant safety guys had him go through a recreation so they could figure out how to prevent morons like him bypassing the interlocks again, he promptly bypassed the safeties and removed the fingers from the other hand. I agree. At some point, natural selection plays a part................ Paul Braun NerdWare -- The History of the PC and the Nerds who brought it to you. nerdware(a)laidbak.com www.laidbak.com/nerdware
