Steve,

It's not relevant as Robertshaw and Stant certainly aren't part of 
the same company. For our purposes, at least, the RS gives us better 
cooling, and they were never connected to the former Smith and Wesson 
debacle.

Personally, I believe your NAPA guy didn't know what in the heck he 
was talking about, but I understand the need to give credence to 
someone who should know, and/or usually knows.

John
