I 'spect that a much-larger-than-average proportion of RCM'ers feel that
way. I certainly do. Just the other day I got a broken recip saw from
a neighbor. Not because I need one - I have 2, & not because he wants
it fixed - he'd already bought a new one. Just because I was curious
about the failure (side-to-side blade motion) & if I could fix it.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
