C'mon people. Every time anyone even mentions Sawstop someone
resurrects the brouhaha we've had several times now. Whatever your
opinion, you're not changing others. Can't we just let it go? Get
back to woodworking? Even a political thread would be more interesting
:-).

Why is it when a lot of people engage in a topic they find interesting,
someone attempts to impose their personal disinterest on the rest of the
group. Why can't you just skip the topics you are not interested in,
that's what most people would do?

I found the topic quite interesting the first time it generated a massive
response. Even the second time gave me a few more snippets of info. But
now it just elicits an "Oh no, not again" response.

In other words, it's not that the topic isn't of interest, it's that its
been beaten to death already. Now if you're a newbie, I forgive you.
You haven't seen all the previous incarnations. But what I see is mostly
the same posters with the same opinions they've had since the beginning.

But Larry, the same could be said about, why is my finish doing such and
such. What brand such and such do you use? Most any question or topic
you see here has surly been covered a dozen times. If topics were not
repeated there would be no conversation.


I wonder if some of them have any time left to do woodworking?

Well, I tend to defend the SawStop regardless of how it got there and I
might be considered a newby, I have only been posting here for 18 years.
And I seem to be one of the very few that actually post pictures of my
projects on a regular basis. So you know that I am building. It just
might be the ones that are not building that do not have enough actual
experience to have a valid/relevant opinion.

Not jumping you!, I'm just saying in general. ;~)
