Scott,

I'm sure Ronnie intended to write "Scott's message may lead to a bit of a
misunderstanding", not that you were misleading anyone.  

Wow.  High pressure located over the sandbox today.  Everyone play nice now.

Ronnie is a bit misleading.

Scott never said  MAP, Fuel Pressure, Amps and Fuel Flow were not available.

Read the original below and you will see what Scott really said, instead of 
what Ronnie said he said!
