I have learned so very much from so very many of you. I look forward to
seeing how the problems are solved, for I learn from it, and it makes me
a better Woodworker.
I have only one problem though, with the forum. It seems that after the
first 1000 answers to ONE of the postings, that everyone seems to drift
off, way off, of the original subject, and goes into fighting with each
other, nit picking. Therefor I have a tendency to totally ignore the
next 5000 or so postings which has nothing to do with the original
subject, skipping over them.
However I would not deny any of you the fun of snipping at each other,
so by all means continue as you have been. It is just that I will Not
read those kinds of postings.

So... are you quite sure about those numbers? I didn't think so. Here's a
thought - take what you need and leave the rest, and that way you won't feel
the need to parent everybody else.

So - why bother saying this unless you're trying to be holier than thou?
It's actually fine if you don't read any more - do you really feel that
important that anyone else should care about your preferences? Can you say
"arrogant"?

Woodworkers are rejects from society that hide in a shop, away from
other people, making cool things and ignoring their social anxieties.
Then they go online and think they are safe from physical interaction
and play superman as am attempt at recovery. You set a fine example of
just his.

As an alternative, maybe walk into the shop and actually make something... I
find that works pretty well too. ;~)

How could you possibly consider a person who uses God's Word as his
nick to be holier than thou? JFC. Some people's kids, I swear.

I am not holier, I am just the Absolute Best. I thought that I found
someone once that was just as good, but then realized that since no one
can be as good as me, that I was mistaken. Ops, Sorry about that, since
I am perfect, and realizing that being mistaken is an error, and since I
never error, I could not have been mistaken. My ruler is always right
