Hi The tone of my mesages was not meant to soun disrespectful in any way I was just trying to describe why you can be misled into thinking a battery may be ok when in fact it's about to die. Greg seems to have a problem with people who know a bit more than he does. That is something he will have to resolve by himself. I had a problem with my courier whilst using rechargeable batteries and have every right to air my views and criticisms. And they say us British are afraid to complain. I shall say no more on the matter.

I joined the list because I am a long time BookCourier user and thought I might get some information from like users about sources of material. So far, the only messages that have come across the list, concern the "battle of the battery testers." It's not so much the content of the messages, it's the tone of them. There is nothing in this discussion of battery testing that is unique or intrinsic to the BookCourier. Do what most people on these lists do when they find a difference of opinion that the parties can't resolve; they agree to disagree. Bud Kennedy bkennedy429@xxxxxxxxx
