OP Geoff Hannis Super Hero Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 14,798 Likes: 71 the path less trodden	With regards to your second post, George ... in well-organised establishments, the requirement for user staff to report faults has been normal practice (and, in some cases these days, a legal requirement) for as long as I can remember! So, for what it's worth, here is my own contribution (advice to users):- 1) Make friends with the biomeds 2) Read the manual 3) Understand what you're doing 4) Report faults OK ... let's get some posters made! And in similar vein, and with regards to "NPF" situations, here is a thought for the biomeds:- Listen carefully to users complaints regarding failures. Separate, but don't discount their idea of cause and effect. Have them explain the symptom (by gentle coaxing, if need be). I almost added:- "Keep Calm and Carry On"! That 1939 poster seems to be cropping up all over the place these days. A sad indication of our present predicament, perhaps.
