Strange VOM Issue

I think the 'analog' discussion is valid simply because of what 1969383S said. If you look at some procedures in the FSM, it will caution against using a digital meter. The high front end impedance of a digital meter doesn't load the circuit up enough to prevent false readings. If someone doubts this I can start going through FSM's but trust me, it's in there.
Oh I wasn't saying it was invalid. I'm glad it came up.
