Les,

There was nothing wrong with the way you worded your message, there was a problem with the way I READ it!

Glad you had a chuckle, that was the intent of my reply, if a person can't laugh at themselves they have a problem!

Rob,
I just had a good chuckle.
I could/should have worded my message a bit differently, which is a common fault of mine. What I think and what I write don't always
match.

"Ladder frame" can be interpreted in several ways.

I was obviously trying to refer to the vehicle frame structure (a ladder frame design) which is not tolerant of heavy pulling forces
from one corner. One might pull the frame out of square if not cautious.
