<VV> Jacking Points or stands / Aptitude

[UltraMonzaWest at aol.com]

The way I see it......if a person has "aptitude"...they will see  where it's 
safe / ok  to jack.......no need for a manual.

For someone to vehemently disapprove of a technique on a "KNOWN"  machine 
[apples to apples], shows a lack thereof.!

Besides....he asked for it...I Quote from his original text:    " I actually 
screamed out loud when I read it.   Here's your chance to scream at me."

Does anyone remember.............gggggg
