Where are all these mythical people? I have a friend who
............ my brother-in-law ......... my neighbor .......... etc.

Why don't we hear directly from them on metalworking subjects?

Why don't we hear the words "I" and "me" more often? Like "I" can
do, and "I" did, and "I" made?

If these people are welding underwater in the North Sea making $900
an hour, why can't they afford a computer? If they are doing so
well at metalworking, why is it that they are so ethereal?

I can understand why anyone working on nuclear subs, or NASA
wouldn't post, or who has or has had a clearance, and those bound by
nondisclosure agreements, but why not all the rest of these other
mythical beings?

Just some thoughts from the fringe ................. As I get
older, I ponder more things .........

Could it be because they have no interest in posting in general, or
RCM specifically? I worked with well over 100 guys when I broke
into the trade, many of whom (more than ten) went on to found machine
shops that enjoyed multiple levels of success. From all of these
guys, I'm the only one that I know of that follows any of the news
groups.

It's pretty simple----it's not everyone's cup of tea, and even when
it is, some of them lurk only----not everyone has my strange
propensity to post-------nor do they care to.

You want something beyond ethereal? The fellow of whom I spoke in a
different thread that is self taught and is (was) certified in TIG
welding is in West Jordan, Utah-----and is the owner of Pulley's
Custom Manufacturing. That's some information you can sink your
teeth into, and verify that which I claim if you have doubts.

It's not BS------he did outstanding work-----work that rivaled the
full time certified weldors with which we both used to work when we
went through our apprenticeships at the missile facility.

Hercules or Thiokol ? I did 3+ years in the PMDD at the Wasatch facility
.... in fact , that's where I first got the chance to play around on a small
lathe , South Bend 10X36 IIRC .
