Scott et al:

I am not interested in a "Leadership Role".  Nor, regardless of what basic
information I possess (and there is huge gray area in anyone assessing what
knowledge I *MAY* possess, but let's assume I'm an ignoramus, it doesn't
change my approach), will I attempt to take or sell a technical position.  I
do have a position BTW, it just seems self serving for me to post my opinion
without asking what I believe is answers to THE question.  And I believe THE
question isn't does bite happen or not, but why here (USA) and not there
(UK, NZ, etc.).  That is what I see everyone fighting over...

I prefer facilitator.  I am attempting (with EVERYONE'S help) to look at
this issue with a totally new and different approach.  An information
gathering, brain racking, let's put every single idea on the table, even if
they are stupid like my #4.  The current method isn't working, as the many
emails that have passed back and forth will attest to.  

Call this a social experiment.  I work at a place where a large number of
people have to solve extremely complex problems.  Oh, just to help everyone
understand me, I work at Boeing ROCKETDYNE.  We build rocket engines, such
as the ones that put men on the moon, most of America's satellite network,
and those 4 recent ICBM missile intercepts.  We have problems that I'd
venture to say are rather complex.  We solve them in the manner I'm
currently promoting.  Get as much information on the table as possible, then
analyze it piece by piece, then all the pieces together.

Let's take # 4, which I promote as being stupid (easy to bash self, much
less flaming...)
Is it possible that there are different Torsen Diffs between America and say
the UK??  
Yes.  
Probable??
I myself would say no.  But it is possible...
How do you answer this question?  Start by looking at part numbers (which we
are, yea for progress), the application of those numbers, then eventually
putting two of the damn things side by side if need be (like one out of my
1990 200tqa and Phil's 1990?  100tqa).  Eventually eliminate or further
raise this issue as a suspect.

Do this with all the available evidence, and it will (I hope) point to the
reason that Phil and Dave don't seem to experience bite, and Scott and Jeff
et al. seem to.  At least illuminate the issues in a more friendly, success
oriented way, which actually is my ultimate goal.  

Work with me here people, or hell, better yet, someone take charge of this
OR EVEN BETTER STILL, FIND A SOLUTION...

  I'm not after control, leadership, or glory.  I just want to drive my
Audi, make love to my wife, drink beer, and read this lists' comments... 

I don't get 1 demerit for this response, do I??  :-)
