I've always appreciated reading your metalworking related posts, Ed.. and
I've read quite a few of the OT posts too, I just don't respond knowing how
wasteful it would be of my time.

Your comments regarding the public's and potential buyers' perceptions of
the little black rifle were right on target, IMO.. for example.

I definitely noticed when you were gone, and was beginning to believe you'd
just moved on to something more worthwhile. I've seen it happen with so many
good contributors here that it's depressing.

There are some very good forums such as Chaski where it's all-on-topic, all
the time.

You won't teach any of these social misfits any manners.

I'm glad that all I've learned here hasn't come from watching youtube
videos, which seems to be a major portion of Jon's background in
metalworking.

If there were fewer Jon/gummer/likes around here, there would be a lot
more
metalworking enthusiasts taking part in RCM.

Most people can find better things to do than reading bull**** posts from
hostile misfits. I'm surprised that you bother to try to explain anything
to
those who want to hear it least.

You have a good point there, Bill. When I returned from vacation last
June and started to download posts from RCM, I stopped myself and
asked "why?" It was no fun, not very informative, and a waste of time.

So I just stayed away until I had a delay on a project this winter and
too much time on my hands. Devil's workshop, and all that. g

I think I'll just mosey along again after finishing my conversation
with RD. I don't want to cut him short again.

Thanks.
