LOL. Good. I always find huge detailed threads about taking a faucet
apart a bit much, when getting hold of a copy of that little schematic
that usually comes with it would do.
OTOH, it's more interesting than "never had a clue" and "fuckwit."

I challenge both Vic and Smitty Two to point out WHERE on the Internet
are instructions for taking apart and repairing a Delta Monitor shower
faucet?
That "schematic" you bespeak of does not explain the steps nor the
tools and it is not obvious how to take apart the faucet.
Personally, I just searched, and found a bunch of similar requests for
the procedure to repair a leaky Delta Monitor but nowhere the steps
with pictures and explanations until this thread.
When Vic and Smitty Two come to the same conclusion, I'd ask them to
post back what the purpose and intent of this home repair related
newsgroup is and how this thread, in their opinion, doesn't fit in
perfectly.

While I'm sure neither Smitty Two nor Vic could find the answer to
even this simple question I did find the exact question asked a number
of times.
A representative example is in this "alt.home.repair" thread on Sun,
20 Mar 2005 00:36:16 GMT asking 'Have a Delta Monitor single lever
with a temperature control knob in the bath/shower. Anyone have an
idea where I can find instructions on how to repair/replace the valve?
Have a slight occasional drip. I found some pdfs at deltas web site.
It was good to ID parts but not for any disassembly."
This previous request to this same newsgroup resulted merely in a
pointer to a kitchen faucet schematic which looks totally different
than what I saw in the shower pictures posted here and where the most
important bonnet component looks nothing like the kitchen schematic
and neither does the faucet escutcheon. The faucet cartridge is also
totally different with wholly different removal procedure and
fittings. It's a Delta Monitor faucet but that's where the
similarities end.
Why is the answer to this question so obvious to Smitty Two and Vic
that even in this group in the past and present there was general
discussion until a consensus could be reached?

Didn't mean to offend you. I just thought Two's post was amusing, and
he was tongue-in-cheek.
Donna's posts are quite informative, and in this case a boon to Delta
faucet repairers.
Info is good, this thread was well done, and the last thing I want is
to stifle info in any way. Sorry.

Well, Bob, if you really want to dialogue with me, you'll have to stop
posting from google, because I killfile them. But I became aware of your
post through Vic's response.
If you'll read my post carefully, I never said the instructions were
readily available on the internet. I never said the post was off topic.
What I said was, Donna annoys the crap out of me. And she does.
