What did I miss?

It's been several weeks since I've had the time to even *look* at this
newsgroup, so (not surprisingly) when I popped in here this evening there were
over 2500 unread posts. "Screw this!" says me, and I marked 'em all "read".
Did I miss anything interesting? Keep it short; I ain't got all dang night. :-)

You also missed that JOAT lifted his moratorium on accepting any and
all e-mails.

Nothing really important.
I posted a link to pictures of my full size re-creation of the mysterious
spiral staircase at Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe.
But it didn't attract any interest. ;-)

But, I have to ask - why would anyone post that they were not interested
enough to read or keep up., and then ask others to do their homework for
them, but asking if they missed anything they would consider intersting?

I DID see that thread, and it was interesting enough that I spent a fair amount
of time learning about it. If I ever get over to Santa Fe I'll definitely
check it out. Thanks.

The technical description: "Balls-on Exact" was introduced to the group
as a way of describing a measurement which, to the layman, can best be
translated to meaning "with a particularly high degree of precision".
Of course to the professional, the latter is comparably sloppy...

I hope this helps you keep up with the discussions! ; )

Damn the bad luck! And Lord only know how much money I would've won if I'd had
sense enough to buy a lottery ticket! Of course, buying one now would just be
money down the crapper.

He missed all six hundred and seventeen of your updates on the price
of gasoline in the Republik of Kalifornia, Lew. And 1,800 trollings,
183 Eyetalyun shoe spams, 243 hissy fits, and 300 actual metal posts,
(if you count motor rebuilding info.)

How'll he survive it?
