the reality of what iggy's problem is

It's not a "problem" for iggy....

He's just acting stupid, (and cleverly so) in order to profit from all
the gullible folks who are apparently eager to waste their own time
spoon-feeding him with information that he could easily figure out on
his own if he were so inclined.

-easy to feel sorry for someone in a wheelchair; only slightly less

for someone who posts on usenet using the nym "ignoramus", if you
catch
my drift...

The problem IMO is when someone is always provided with the "easy
answer", their reasoning, problem solving, and decision making skills
generally suffer substantially as a result.

One has to assume that, having condemned Iggy for asking questions,
that you know everything.

That would be wrong.

It's just that sking here is my last resort, and it's a pretty rare when

can't find the information I'm looking for by researching it myself,
especially where it concerns metalworking. After all, I've made a living
doing metalworking my entire life and I'm nearing 56 at present.

Well, I'm a bit older than you and probably have more experience
(finished apprenticeship in 1950) and I still run into things that I
ask questions about.

But I really can't understand that someone asks a question and you are

No you don't see.

your precious knowledge you might possible reward him with a tiny
scrap information.

I freely give whatever knowlwedge I might have up until the point where
someone has proven themselves NOT worthy.

Exactly what I said. He genuflects and holds his out in supplication
and you reward him with a morsel.... the rest of the world can get
****ed.

You are such a nice person.

He's a very nice person and very helpful.

I've found you to be neither.

Maybe he doesn't drink enough rutabaga juice, and so he still has a
normal personality.

Being smarmy doesn't cover up for the fact that Precision Machinist
has clearly explained how iggy operates and why "J.B. Sclocomb" is a
fool. You may think it does but it doesn't.

Pffffhhht. Drink your juice, Jonnie.
