Don't know that it was put there to piss us off. I personally have never had a problem with the switch but then early on in 97 I understood the problem and began to fully depress and engage the clutch switch before starting the engine to avoid damaging the switch.

Agreed. Someone actually sued the large company I worked for about a decade ago for not explicitly saying in the manual that you could not dry your cat in their microwave. True story. And yet a "good lawyer" would get a large settlement if negligence can be proven to a jury. In this case they lost.

????? They do find stuff on discovery. Depending on which side of a suit you're on this can be a good thing or bad. They just love it when a trail of behavior can be found. It can prove forethought and intentional indifference which cranks up the punitive damage $.
I don't fear lawyers. I fear being stupid. As defined "ignorance" is not knowing something. Stupidity is knowing and still doing the wrong thing.
WITNESS: your honor I resent this line of questioning. The attorney is trying to make me say that I saw the defendant rob the store. He couldn't have robbed the store. I did. ooops
(edited later - I am referring to no one but myself. I did a similar thing to the above once)
I am not a lawyer or married to one but I do keep my mind open when my lawyer friends have spoken. At least enough to know what to do should I hit a pedestrian or how to leave a plausible deniability statement in my prose. (I do this thing XYZ but I do not advocate it for anyone).
It would be interesting to post a "poll" on this as to how many member have bypassed the switch. Maybe there are a "lot" of them. Maybe not.
