Well, I guess I'm glad I'm a N(ew)SMG(al) - I try to teach people but many just don't want to know. Some will say so, some will just "check out" mentally when I try to show them how to avoid a repair bill in the future. I've actually watched their eyes go glassy! *sigh*
As I mentioned that in another recent thread, I'd just be thrilled if people would complete the maintenance that's detailed in the manual! Lint under the throat plate is one of the top reasons for a machine to go in for repairs, yet the last 2 people I talked to didn't think they'd ever taken their throat plates off to clean lint out. A periodic wipe down wouldn't hurt either. I'm choosing to believe that last one was chocolate smears...
As for my videos, I've made a few OSMGs mad with those...
