Joseph, I was referring to the comments that the long hose has the propensity to get suck and caught on many things. I meant no harm, and if my reply was better directed to Mark W. then so be it. Sometimes when a response has the original email quoted in full, it becomes possible to respond to the wrong individual. If that is the case then my apologies. Michael J.
