Yes, being these Tech Assist emails are public on the WWW, the FBI will 
definetely see this posting about the matress tags and everyone you 
offers to send schematics to other list members, plus any threats to 
manufacturers and more. We're gonna have to just be quiet I guess. Don't 
forget to remove any possiblre info from your signature files too.


Just wondering, if a tech makes a circuit modification and then the 
customers house burns down 6 months later, how are the courts gonna 
prove that it was this particular tech who made the modification? The 
customer could have taken the set to 2 or 3 other shops within that time 
frame. If you make a mod, probably not a good idea to make note of it on 
your invoice.
