Of course it is, Dave. But some folks are still going to give you grief for
it. ;-)

I think, originally, John was hoping someone could give him direction or
insight on how to resolve this issue. When that proved not to be the case,

John, may your new jointer be delivered in fine shape, with all of the
appropriate parts, without undue delay. You seem to have had your share of
frustration for the week.

Patriarch,
whose current jointer is a minty #6 from the Merchant of Ashby.
