Default _Sources_ for carbide chain in the US?

On 17 Jun 2004 21:44:44 -0400, (DoN. Nichols)
vaguely proposed a theory
.......and in reply I say!:

remove ns from my header address to reply via email



Sometimes a bounce is a temporary one -- a "we can't deliver
your mail so far, but we'll keep trying" type of thing.


I quote from the bounce

"Sorry, I couldn't find any host by that name. (#4.1.2)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too
long."

Sounds pretty final to me G

Anyway we sorted what really happened. G

It is me. Ahah! I faxed them! Not email. Email would have been
"nfwhite"


O.K.


Did they say anything about the website?


Not a word, by which I assume that they are pretty clueless
about the workings of their web page. IIRC, some other firm took the
credit for the page's design and implementation. And it may be that
still a third party is responsible for the blocks.


I know Bailey's (naming coincidence) in the US were happy to sell to
me, exclusive or not. But they just keep saying the chain won't fit,
and I disagree. That's why I wanted to talk to Rapco.


O.K. Are the chain pitches sometimes in metric units, and
sometimes in inches, depending on country of origin?


No. I am happy to deal in Imperial...sorry...inches. The only thing is
sometimes it's 3/8" and sometimes .375. Then there is .370...go
figure. 1/200th of an inch! Thsi guy tells me the saw only takes .325"
and .370. But everybody else says 3/8".....then there is low profile,
etc.

Let us know what happens.


Will do.

P.S. Is it time to straighten out the spelling of "carbide" in the
"Subject: " header? My spelling checker keeps stumbling over
that one. :-)


Ok. It will lose the thread, but I take your point. Do you show all
header fields? Or does your SC check the title as well?
