Well, Crossroads, I had found a site the other day telling resistors do not well, which is not true so I agree with you.
Following this site http://jamesreubenknowles.com/level-shifting-stragety-experments-1741. All depends on choosing the correct resistors for the one means or the other I assume.
But, my question was not what means to use as you can read at my first posting.
