Morris, you can save yourself a lot of time by ignoring anything that
Gunner cuts and pastes here. It's usually from an unidentified source
that he picks up in the right-wing nutbag blogs and websites, often from
a "military officer just returned from Iraq," or, in this case, a
"Vietnam vet who refused a promotion to general." The Special Forces
angle is a nice twist. d8-)

That was my conclusion, too. On the off chance that he might actually have
metalworking expertise (I have precious little), I won't ignore his
posts - but I won't necessarily keep quiet if my BS detector goes off.

He doesn't bull**** about machining, and he knows quite a bit about machine
tools and their installation. He's a self-taught machinist, like many of us
here, and he's frank about the state of his knowledge.

However, if the subject turns to politics, click on to the next message. g


I don't particularly mind revealing the identity of the ex-military type
on whose judgment /I/ most depend:

nor the fact that I, also, wore these:

but I have never been under the illusion that either made my judgment any
better than anyone else's.

A sensible man. There are plenty of them here; you'll enjoy the company.
