Actually you’re both right.:) I think it’s good to be correct because there’s so much misinformation out there. After all with all the misinformation and garbage out there we end up with things like Trump and Hillary as our only options. hahaha (ok maybe a bit over stated)
On the flip side, Chris, I’ll never give anyone a hard time for being on the safe side when it comes to this topic. You never know who you’re talking to so they may for some reason think that the same logic that applies to your USB cable applies to your power cord or your toaster oven to be a bit extreme so being careful is also a good thing. So let’s call it the best of both worlds, your warning combined with mine and others over analysis.:) > On May 18, 2016, at 4:37 PM, Christopher-Mark Gilland <clgillan...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Shruggs.
