Hi Mike,
I didn't think my reply was out of line in any way. I was not trying to
insult you or anyone else. I was giving support to a list member who had a
problem.
Are you sure you are replying to the right person?
And yes, I was factory trained on PDP11/34s and worked on many in the
field, own several of them.

Do you even HAVE an 11/34 to know what's being talked about? If you
did, you'd see that it's not at all clear which way it goes, and it
can go on either way. Therefore, it should be checked against a
schematic or otherwise pinned out.
Since when do YOU speak for "anyone else"?! Speak for YOURSELF.
I don't need you and other similar IDIOTS beating up on me because
YOU'RE an IDIOT and I'm NOT"
I don't know who you are. I do question what you're doing on this list
with that kind of attitude.

Then your
time will not be wasted.

Oh, my reply met every standard for the word, "civil." Beyond that, the
tone is entirely what YOU project into it. To me, it was wry humor.
