Well KEV,
It's like this, I don't set out to make friends, but get thank you comments each day.
My abrasive tone as you call it, is how you percieve it and it is a free country, so percieve at will, THIS IS THE REAL WORLD, where mistakes COST MONEY, REAL MONEY.
This is not school but the real world, frankly if someone does not have the MECHANICAL APTITUDE, to realise that the belt "cannot stretch a bit", other wise it would alter the pitch, they should not answer the question, this comment is aimed at you.
I will still sleep at night whether you like me or not, and if you posted a question I would answer it to the best of my ability, without any animosity whatsoever.
If you think I am bothered what people think of me you clearly don't know me well.
The comments about belt stretch were not aimed directly at you, and as far as I can see it does not look that way, I appologise if it does, it was not the intention, it is just annoying that people, yourself included are so quick to beleive and not stop and think about things, as people would be so much more capable if they did.

ps sorry for my abrasive tone
