Dudette, chill out.

You are *not* obligated to participate in this silliness. Many don't.

I probably won't but I will tell a guy if I think he has some nice
wood. :-)

Gadzooks. You'd better be careful saying stuff like that around here. A
lot of these geezers haven't had nice wood in decades, and they might get
too carried away.

Must be a guy thing (no offense to the male species btw)

Probably some kind of knuckle dragging male bonding thing I guess, maybe.
We are mostly males here, and mostly geezers at that. A few wimminz. We
like wimminz, but you'll have to try not to be offended by some of the
misogynistic anti-wimminz spewing that goes on occasionally (such as
referring to you as "wimminz" for example). We are no more serious about
that than anything else. (Well, generally. As with any other group of
people, there are always genuine jerks, and there are some here too.) The
main thing you need to fit in here is to be a tool user. It doesn't really
matter what you're wearing in your pants. I know lots of men, LOTS of men,
who are completely baffled trying to figure out which end of a hammer to
use to open a can of paint, or how to drive a nail with a tubafore.

So chill out, calm down, and hang out a bit.

I'll just take that chair in the corner. It looks comfy. :-)

Fine then. That's much better.

got here (except for the few hours yesterday when I was at the
Hamilton woodworking show)

Hamilton up in Kanukistan, presumably. Wherever that is. Like most Markinz
I am geographically illiterate. (There's another Wreck-ism. It can be
presumed from your email address that you are a Kanukistani. I OTOH am a
Markin. Or Merkin, or, well, choose your particular permutation of this
line of thought.)

I'm still here. Just don't call me a *dude* again. Geeeze. I am
*all* female. ;-)

Roger.

Works for me and thanks for explaining things.

Just don't expect me to step out of character and start being serious
again.
