Is there any way to identify the % that are on the topic of metalworking?
I'd be interested in who's here who actually do metalworking, and don't just
sit around with a keyboard, some vicodans and a bottle of Yukon Jack and
prattle on about inane bull****.

I know who they are, but it would be interesting, nonetheless. And I bet I
could name what I think would be the top 5 OT posters and discussers, and
get at least three of the five.
