>Ahhhh, you touched an old sore spot. I never quite got this straight, and asked several people which is better: to be piston or off. They just laughed and I never got an answer. So I'm still undecided on the subject.

I knew it was old, but if it's sore too then maybe you should visit the doctor. Is it the same whether piston or pistoff?

Chances are good you'd be both piston and pistoff if you pist into the wind.
