I see you've posted this identical message independently to
rec.autos.tech, BUT at the same time have (correctly) crossposted to two
Honda groups.

Bad, stupid boy. Have you ever considered that you may be
cheating some readers out of the information posted to rec.autos.tech?

It so happens that a rec.autos.tech poster named Ted Mittelstaedt has
given the best advice thus far on this subject. Readers who venture not
beyond the Honda groups remain unenlightened by Ted's nuggets of wisdom.
