What may seem like a picky point should be a point well taken. While most
multimeters may well be both ohm and amp meters the desired function is as
an ammeter. Misstating the function might mislead the electrically
uninitiated to use the wrong function on their multimeter in which case it
would surely fry. The electrically initiated didn't need the suggestion
and the uninitiated need specificity to do the job correctly.
I have learned much form the discussions of the list, but must point out
that the areas I have learned the most were the areas I knew the least, and
while I like to think I have a measure of common sense, I also try and
follow directions. We all know that "knowing" the trick is half the game
to keeping out sanity and sometimes our appendages.
Incidentally, all during the emissions thread I've been waiting for someone
to say, I am not a chemist, but I play one on TV. Here in Georgia we have
a cut off grandfather age of 25. No tests.

Trevor:
I agree, but others on the list might be mislead.
