Weeell Gene, of course, I'm no cold technocrat with no other interest (even bike rider in Summer, too). It's just that: I have been following those EMC discussions only since I heard about EMC for the first time shortly before Xmas. Since then, I've been trying to pick up as much information from EMC sources as I can, reading manuals, questions and answers. Right now, the fog begins to clear up so some time from now - I hope - I will feel able to ask a decent question, too. At the moment I feel like if I were in a pool without knowing much about swimming. Therefore, I need to watch and listen to others who know more about swimming, listening to motorbike talk doesn't bring me forward.
Of course, if someone sees a safety risk he must holler even if it is out of subject. A couple of days ago when I read the discussions about getting hit by electricity because of poor (or no) grounding of the VFD I felt cold shudders down my back... I learned electricity and house wiring at my Michigan high school back in 1965 and can't get rid of the feeling that some EMC - CNC freaks, apparently knowing little about the electricity rules, are dancing on the rim of the volcano! By the way: here in Germany (and in most European countries) you wouldn't get very far with home made parts on your bike (even if CNC made, too). Police would pull you out of traffic within hours or so. For instance (if you take the right to be talksome, I have it too): My windshield broke when the machine tipped some time ago. I can't replace it now because the exact part is not being produced any more and I don't want to take the expenses of a single vehicle main check at the technical examination company (or what you would call that institution) with another brand of windshield. Keep safety minded, anyway!
