little tiny thing. You mentioned many ways to skin the cat. Unfortunately I do not see, eye to eye with this train of thinking.

Hear me out if you will. You and others are thinking using different bulbs, including UV, are different ways to skin the cat. That is what I disagree with. Bulbs are only tools, much like a carpenters tool bag, there are lots of tools to make a wooden cabinet or a wooden chair. You can use all sorts of tools that are your perference. But the making of the cabinet and chair is still the same. If you made the cabinet and chair, out of plastic, then thats skinning the cat in a different way. Its still a cabinet and chair, but the tools and materials are different.

We are seeking the same results, so what tools you use are not skinning the cat differently. The approach is the same, the results are hopefully the same. What we are doing is arguing about tools. Unfortunately some of our extremely educated folks cannot figure seem to figure that out. We are attempting to do the same things, only with different tools.

With that in mind, it question becomes, which tool fits the situation and which tool is handist for the keeper and the kept. Instead of, Dr. So and So, wrote you must use a tork screw and driver, it is absolutely necessary. Then I pop in and say, yet but I have built dozens of cabinets using panhead phillips. I love those, hahahahahahahaha. I do love those.

So good on you, but while your at it, try and convince folks that lite bulbs do no magic and are only a tool to fit the task needed. Cheers
