Except for me of course, this is probably the only NG that has an eclectic
collection of synapse-firing, varied thinking people where common sense
is...well, actually common. However, why are you guys and gals so naive
when it comes to dealing with trolls? (OK, I poke the trolls too sometimes)
You just keep getting sucked into situations that are created only to
provoke an emotional response, and a post like this will take whatever
position necessary to create such response. I see posts from some trolls
that invade this sanctuary and you KNOW they have never created a single
chip. I value OT opinions from the people that have done any kind of
metalworking and KNOW those secrets of the universe.

STOP FEEDING THE TROLLS - THEY WILL DIE OF STARVATION IN MOMENTS!!!

I propose a test be implemented in order to even access this NG: "Which way
does one turn a right hand threaded bolt to tighten it?" That will
eliminate ALL the current trolls. (and some of the regulars too)

The opposite direction that you would turn its corresponding nut.

HA!

I've gotten 20+ e-mails so far asking for clues. Let's just say it's
pointing...North!

And which way ARE you turning?

I believe that one tightens the nut, not the bolt and if there is no nut,
then it's a screw, not a bolt.

Have you ever heard of a 'loose bolt'?

I think that one tightens a nut, not the bolt. If there is no nut, then it's
a screw, not a bolt.

I've heard of 'having a screw loose' or a 'loose nut', but not a loose
bolt...

Try asking for a set of head 'screws' at your local speed shop. (g)

Ken-
Point taken, but how many socket head cap BOLTS do you see listed in the MSC
catalog?

What kind of cars use bolts (er, screws) to secure the head? Every one I've
worked on had studs.

Rich

Maybe not cars but single cyl. gas engines ( at least the several I've
taken apart
and rebuilt ) like Brigs and Straton and Wisconsin, use head bolts
ERRRRR "screws"

THAT'S IT.... I've got several of those places around my shop, but at
the present time, all of those storage places are occupied.... Maybe
this weekend I'll find the time to make some more compartments...
Thanks for the storage hint....
Ken.
