I try to ignore postings that have the word "plebian" in them, however. In
1983 my Rohn25 tower, guyed at 3 levels, came down in a storm. It folded 2
feet above the concrete and extended like a "felled tree". I hope you didn't
tell the young lady, just as imperiously, that a tower will not fall like a
tree.
