Message	I have read the posts above, where they imagine an additional column to the right of where the table ends and they also imagine an X in that column. Or they say that because the schedule says miles only, it must have meant to say "or X months" and now we have to solve for X. And then conclude that it is "obvious", and anyone who disagrees with them is reckless and has a big ego! Just because they have invented the number in several steps does not make it less of an invention! After I revealed the claim as totally false, rather than apologize with a simple "I stand corrected", or just say nothing, we get this whiny "Gee you insulted me, and this corner of the page talking about something else says miles or months whichever comes first!" It would be laughable if it wasn't in Tech where unsuspecting people might believe it. Really, I don't know why you are defending this guy from nothing worse than the truth. It's beneath you. And I don't know how so many people can misread a simple maintenance schedule. - John
