You can Flame all you want, I can take it. But I just took a little offense to the comment: Guess we will have to keep doing this until we have a Parts Reference Section.

There are, parts reference sections, in the books. It's the attitude that someone else who has put the time in, should have a parts reference section on line for you, that's not right. Their thought when putting it together might just have been to put it in a book for sale. Things are printed in books or newsletters. Sure there are mistakes. But also with notes that are making corrections. Copyright infringements come into play if you use someone else's material verbatim.

The comment that "print is dead" and that all knowledge is on the 'net. must not be true. Other wise you would have access to it. How many of us are waiting for Larry Ruth's new book? As for corrections, how many times do you see stuff on the net proved wrong also and updated.

"I'm 60 years old. Sorry for utilizing the Internet for what it is."

Younger doesn't always pertain to age. A person new to something is considered younger in experience. As for utilizing the Internet for what it is, you did, and it wasn't there. Again proving that the written word, and or word of mouth and experience is still a valuable tool.
Wanting to protect the integrity of a hobby is not a bad thing.

That is what I was hoping would come across in my post. Guess not.
Last comment and then I'm done on this subject. Books, internet, library, etc. The bad guy has access to all of it. And who knows how many BG's are registered on websites just like this one seeking info to help themselves con people.
