OK. My last word on this matter.  You are WRONG,  your original post 
used some rather uncalled for vonacular when referring to other 
members of this list.  If you will re-read my post you will not find 
lb.-ft. anywhere.  In fact the only place that I have found lb.-ft. 
lately was in your posting.  I hope we don't have to suffer through 
100 messages about which is correct, because in reality it doesn't 
make one bit of differance.  Also I have better things to do than to 
go through the derivations and prove it.  If you can't stand the heat 
than keep your thoughts to yourself until you KNOW what you are 
talking about.  So if you feel that you must vindicate yourself at 
mine or someone else expense have at it.  Personally I have better 
things to do that have a mind duel with an unarmed opponent.
Now stop letting your ego interfer with your thinking.
