Re: Battery bias directly to grid

Maynard, later Lord, Keynes, was a director of the Ballet Lambert. One
day the company's manager came to him and said it was suggested that
the dancers decide the billing order themselves. Would he permit it?
Keynes looked the man straight in the eyes and said, "Only if you have
first called for an ambulance."

Stick around, Bruce. We can do with a quality engineer with patience
and a sense of humour. Learn to enjoy being horrified at much of what
we do; if you permit your blood pressure to rise you will not last
long.
