-- Yup, RTFM. :-)
It just so happens that I recently read an old issue of Reader's Digest in which a filler, on the subject of learning to use a new gadget, said something to the effect of "Once you master the thing, you begin to understand the instructions that came with it".
But I'm puzzled. I was the first reply to Jim's post and suggested the filter sequence that got me there in a few seconds. I even pointed out a suitable slide switch as an example. The filter sequence has been discussed at length but no one seemed to notice my post. Made me wonder if I'd been killfiled by everyone.
Well, I don't have you killfiled and I would bet no one else does either. You just spoke so well no one was confused ;).
No, it's Thompson who has everyone but his little select inner party killfiled. He's just some overgrown petulant spoiled brat who either ignored your post or didn't comprehend what you were trying to say.
Reminds me of those googlies that ask a question and when people start giving answers, they say, "No, that's not it..."
I've given up on providing useful answers to Thompson (he's got me killfiled, of course, because I call him on his bullshit) so don't lose any sleep over it; he's not worth the bother.
Cheers! Rich
-- Actually, Joel Koltner's reply preceded yours by about 10 minutes, and your filter sequence: "Products -> Switches -> DP3T -> Slide -> DP3T -> etc" was flawed.
I didn't see JK's reply. Still can't. Most probably because he posted it in the binaries group which my newsserver doesn't do.
If you say so. Ordering from Digikey and Mouser is not a practicable option for me, so I only use them occasionally for reference. I reasoned that, if _I_ could locate the part in a matter of seconds, those of you who can use them regularly as sources would need only a pointer in the general direction without detailed instructions. Seems I was wrong.
Oh, I'm not that sensitive. I've been around Usenet for over a decade, long enough to know what it's like. My comment about killfiles was meant as a figure of speech.
I've seen that happen many times. But on most such occasions, the OP is usually someone who drops in just to ask the one question and then goes away again indefinitely, not a veteran like JT.

After all this, the problem, that would be "solved" via a DP3T switch, has been fixed, so there's no longer a need ;-)
Thanks anyway! Now I know how to search Digikey ;-) ...Jim Thompson
