Ahh Ralph, Sunday night and you've got me in one of those frames of mind again I'm afraid.....

When you see deface in desurface of detable you have just polished, dat is your deflection!!

(The deflection gets bigger when someone sits in the middle of it and desupports aren't strongenuff too!)

Cheers.

Wrong Biting, the correct answer is that a deflection is a deflect in the timber that causes it to deflect. Often to another country entirely.

Good Morning Friends,
Thank you for your answers, however the correct answer is as follows;
Deflection; The amount of sag in a shelf, floor, joists, or counter caused by the weight it's supporting.

Thank you for your support.

Hello Biting midge,
Sorry,as you did in fact have the correct answer. I was in a hurry to get back and watch the Nascar race and didn't read the answers well enough.

No need to be sorry Ralph, the message WAS pretty much in code!!



I used to watch the occasional NASCAR race myself, but could never figure why they run them at 3 o'clock in the morning??
