It's just plain stupidness Bill. And, it has hurt Bass Machines badly. Sticking the height restriction on "safety" was totally assinined in light of the fact that the Mfg said it shouldnt be run deep in the first place. Then, the dumb discussion about reed-stops. Boyesen sells you a package which specifically tells the user NOT to install the stops. This aint no Merc!! Then someone chimes in about a timing restriction being "in the rules". Where? What rule? bull****. If it aint in the website download, it aint a rule...WTF!!!
