[modeleng] Re: Motors for lathes - Speed Control

The phrase "Creative Accountant" has developed negative connotations since 
Enron and WorldCom, but those are just the latest big names in the "what 
would you like the number to be" sweepstakes.  One of my favorites was the 
life insurance company which mostly had fake policies on fake people.  In 
fact most of the fake people were but names on a list until the auditor 
asked to see their file.  At that point, the file (policy, medical exam 
results, etc.) was always "in offsite storage, but we'll have it for you 
tomorrow".  Then a cut and paste night had a Xerox of the file for the 
auditors the next day.

But yes, in response to Jesse's observation, my motor information mostly 
came from targeted reading..."I have this problem and how do I fix it".

I got rebranded as "Joe Btfsplk" after a comment while trying to build on my 
shed that I felt rain clouds were following me around.
