 I  would  sure  as  hell  hope  they  do  some  type  of  check,  Nick.
    I  use  a  Servo mex  at  home,  and  an  o2 analyzer (as you put it)
on site.
   If  you  know  how  to  use  and  maintain  the  less expensive
analyzers  correctly,  they  can  be  pretty  accurate,  unless  you
are  looking  for  absolute  traces.   
   It  beats  the  hell out  taking  some  guys  word,  and  using  the
stuff  on  a  hope  and  a  prayer.
    If  you  want  to  become  famous  for  a  day  or  two and
get  your  name  in  the  paper,,  Don't  bother  checking.
    
   Mario.
