When building a plane, if the screw or bolt is important enough to
have any lock washer it is important to make sure you use one that
won't come loose. If you consider that silly, do your wife and all of
us on the ground a favor and don't build yourself an airplane.

You obviously didn't _read_ or at least comprehend what I wrote...

I read it, understood it completely and really considered you rather
silly for having written it. You had nothing useful to add so you
wasted everyones time.

No more than your silly comment aka "recommendation" ...

You replace every lock washer on every piece of equipment you buy since
they obviously are unsafe?

Now is that what I said or did you take it out of context knowing full
well that my comments were in reference to the aircraft? You knew but
you just couldn't resist making a stupid comment since you had nothing
constructive to add. Now take you stupid comments and put them where
they belong. As for lock washers, no I would not use them any
application where safety was an issue. I have had too many of the
work loose to rely on them.
