Glen typed much truth: snip

Improvement in safety is important, but something must be said for
personal responsibility. Unless the saw itself malfunctioned in some way,
the onus for safety rests with the operator. The greatest "improvement in
safety" would be to ban the use of all table saws. Saws would then be
100% safe. I don't see that as a practical solution, however.

I try to avoid "****ing matches" on the rec and I don't mean to start one,
but I had to have my say.

And you said it very well, thanks for doing so.
