I would guess that 99% of my opinions are based on my personal 
experience. When I read George's opinion of OMS manifolds I partook to 
investigate one and found that he was probably correct in his opinion of 
said manifold. And, in my experience, I have found that Georges track 
record is similar to yours, therefore my post. I will admit that I have 
not used one or had one fail on me so I guess you got me on this one.
