<VV> Installing Dog Dishes

[J R Read_HML]

Am I allowed to modify my response?  A day or two ago, someone sent an email 
saying (in effect) "I take that email back".

I don't take it back - cause I think your method likely works JF.

However, my method - a LONG time ago - was to more or less "hook" the cap 
over 2 of the 3 nubs and....  holding it tightly against those with the left 
hand - and pushing to the right - and then popping the cap over the 3rd nub 
with a more or less glancing blow (to the right) with the heel of the hand 
OR the bottom side of a fist at the edge of the cap in the area of the 3rd 
nub.

I suppose that a left handed person would do that in reverse?

Later, JR
