Lon, whether or not it will kill the toads' brake system is not the

Of course it is the point of the discussion. It's the point I have been trying to make, which everyone has been arguing with.


At question is whether or not it will stop the combination in less

Right from the start, I have said that it COULD, but only a fool would set it up that way, and only a fool would WANT it set up that way.

It CAN be done, but in the REAL WORLD, it ain't happening under normal conditions.

In fact, Will has been trying to make the same point.
