Say what? Of course if you've never had the grinding problem, you shouldn't
have any clue what John is talking about. It's like saying, "Help! I need
some assistance refinancing my mortgage," and having someone reply, "Huh?
Mortgage? Well, MY house is already paid for." Let's think a little before
posting a useless message to the list, ok?

Not a flame, just making a point.
