Oh hells bells, even my never-swearing Granny says piss! It's a good old fashioned country word - piss, piss, piss, piss, PISS! ::grin:: There, that felt better. Geesh, I was hoping that it was at least for something worthwhile, like "mounted"!!!<BR/><BR/>Can't. Stop.

If you look at ...It was a very silly swear filter. If you look at the copy of your comment that I posted after turning off the swear ban, you will see that it censored the "ps s" from "perhaps some", leaving "perha** ome". Weird. I hacked it and deleted most of the silly things they had in the swear word filter config page. It's all good now.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and most of those switches have a ceramic back to them. The terminals ARE usually exposed on the back, though. With new wiring, it should be reasonably safe.<BR/><BR/>LarryMidwest Bicycle Companyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166083183886019156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120556725321553762.post-91586869451107192872007-04-09T21:10:00.000-04:002007-04-09T21:10:00.000-04:00Larry, I hope you make it back here - this is what...Larry, I hope you make it back here - this is what I tried to post in reply at your site but it kept telling me that I was violating your site's no-swearing filter. Any idea what word(s) it didn't like? ::grin:: I mean hey, I can spew profanity like a sailor in certain moments, but it's just puzzling to be blocked when I'm trying to talk about wiring old light switches!<BR/><BR/>Here's what I wrote - so, what's the trigger?<BR/><BR/>What I haven't yet started to research is how to make it safe. Right now it appears to be a switch mounted right on top of wood... one bad short and whooosh! Then again, I haven't taken it off to see if there's perhaps some kind of ceramic backing to it... Those things are cool, though. And I asked around on old house web and talked to a few folks who had wired them to work with new wiring, so it can definitely be done!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534347532506541550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120556725321553762.post-16831373566319758882007-04-09T19:21:00.000-04:002007-04-09T19:21:00.000-04:00I'm thinking about keeping one of my rotary switch...I'm thinking about keeping one of my rotary switches in use, also.<BR/><BR/>http://www.oldhousegazette.com/house/66.php<BR/><BR/>(At the bottom of the page)<BR/><BR/>LarryMidwest Bicycle Companyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166083183886019156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120556725321553762.post-90487752309978545052007-04-08T14:35:00.000-04:002007-04-08T14:35:00.000-04:00Hi, thank you so much for visiting my website, so ...Hi, thank you so much for visiting my website, so glad someone felt the same way about that photograph of the grandmother and child as I did.
