Tom Plamann's Site

Has anyone dropped into visit Tom's site lately. He appears to be
selling a product called XanGo. It even has his picture on the site.
Has he dropped away from woodworking or does he have another site?
This is like going to the library of congress and finding a McDonalds.

For a man of Tom's considerable talents not to be able to utilize them
to provide a comfortable living is truly sad.

Hope he is able to find his way back.

I seem to recall that his old site was quite evangelical.
Who knows in how many ways XanGo opens one's eyes.
Or closes them.

He always was a hyper multi-tasker - sound systems and AV stuff, jobs
for his kids' theatre, I think one of them was heavy into Drum And Bugle
Corp. Kind of surprising about the new version of the site since he
just
put up a HUGE building for woodworking - mainly high end interior work,
spiral staircases, vaulted celings, BIG turned columns and the like.
Stuff
you wouldn't think a)anyone could afford (the last job I recall him
mentioning
was a quarter million - just for the stuff he did) and b) anyone could
make
anymore.

Guess I better take down my link to his site.

Bummer.

I would prefer to think that Tom had been hijacked by aliens rather than it
has come to this.

I usually seek out his site at least once a year to see what wonderful work
he is doing or contraption he is building with his Dad.

Too Bad.

IIRC he started selling the stuff a year or two ago.

Lew, I'm appalled at your dismissal of a well-respected past
contributor's website...

<visits site>

Nah, you're right. What a webshite. Snake oil, sold by Flash-powered
bullshit.


(Is this the same domain name as the woodworker's old site? has it

More Bull Shit than it's worth.

I'm not impressed with complex web sites.

More along the lines of the guy who walked into a bar and sat down
next to a young lady and struck up a conversation.

Finally they decided to leave, the young woman asked, "Your place or
mine?"

The answer.............................................

Decisions, decisions.
