Hi Dave glad to see you again. I still remember very kind of you helping me to
get my Crapsman going. Beside keeping the crapsman, I bought 4 Oldham 1040
Signatures Series saw blade and a 14" bandsaw. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words. I *do* try to be helpful *smile*.
Glad to hear things are working well for you.

Not to get off the subject, I agree with what you said below. I watch and listen
PBS, NPR and C-Span more than any other stations. Beside Ken Burn, I like Nova,
Washington Review, Jim Lehrer's News Hours, Charlie Rose, BBC News and Now with
Bill Moyers.

ALthough I don't always like or agree with some of the views
broadcast on PBS/NPR, I do think it is important to have a diversity
of views. Which, parenthetically, is why I think EVERYONE should
go see "Fahrenheit 9/11". Whether or not one agrees with Moore's
point of view, it raises some questions well worth asking.
One of my comments about the proliferation of cable channels,
which I am sure I have said elsewhere, is that having 14 channels
presenting a range of conservative views is NOT better or "more
diverse" than having ONE channel with strongly conservative views.
We have to have that synthesis of opposing views to be able to come
to an understanding of the issues and to be able to find the
"best" path to deal with them.
