I was hit with over 10,000 e-mails in 12 hours so I have withdrawn my real
information. I'm sure some with language skills will figure it out
instantly. I almost feel bad about it but it shows to go what some people
will do if they are in disagreement.

In the mean time, I'm looking for a source of stainless steel sheet. 12 ga x
2" x 36" I need about 100 lbs. Any ideas? I wonder if Gunner might have
some in the lower 40. I need to quote on 1,000 4" mini-grinder knot brushes
that are all stainless parts to go into some kind of food service.

Thanks,
Buerste

It's no big deal. When communicating in public, the idea of using a
handle is old as the hills. Only politicians and spammers want every
stranger in the world know their real name/information/whatever.

Buerste... Appropriate name!

Hope you will survive the financial tsunami that's brewing; I wish
the same for all thoughtful contributors to RCM.

Thanks for looking...it was a long shot. I did find a local source at
@$4/lb. The last time I had to make all-stainless was for a company that
removes flesh from cadaver bones to harvest bone graphs. I told them there
were no returns allowed!

ACORN Vegas Office Raided in Voter Fraud Investigation
ACORN’s Las Vegas headquarters has been raided by Nevada authorities
looking for evidence of voter fraud.

Nevada state authorities seized records and computers Tuesday from the
Las Vegas office of an organization that tries to get low-income
people registered to vote, after fielding complaints of voter fraud.

Bob Walsh, spokesman for the Nevada secretary of state’s office, told
FOXNews.com the raid was prompted by ongoing complaints about
“erroneous” registration information being submitted by the
Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called
ACORN.

The group was submitting the information through a voter sign-up drive
known as Project Vote.

“Some of them used nonexistent names, some of them used false
addresses and some of them were duplicates of previously filed
applications,” Walsh said, describing the complaints, which largely
came from the registrar in Clark County, Nev.

Secretary of State Ross Miller said the fraudulent registrations
included forms for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys football
team.

“Tony Romo is not registered to vote in the state of Nevada, and
anybody trying to pose as Terrell Owens won’t be able to cast a ballot
on Nov. 4,” Miller said.

Walsh said agents from both the secretary of state’s office and Nevada
attorney general’s office conducted the raid at 9:30 a.m. local time,
and “took a bunch of stuff.” Miller’s office reported seizing eight
computer hard drives and about 20 boxes of documents.

Bertha Lewis, interim chief organizer for ACORN, released a statement
saying the group has for months been turning over any suspicious
registration information to elections officials. She said those
officials routinely ignored their tips, and called the raid a “stunt.”
“When we have identified suspicious applications, we have separated
them out and flagged them for election officials. We have zero
tolerance for fraudulent registrations. We immediately dismiss
employees we suspect of submitting fraudulent registrations,” she
said. “Today’s raid by the secretary of state’s office is a stunt that
serves no useful purpose other than discredit our work registering
Nevadans and distracting us from the important work ahead of getting
every eligible voter to the polls.”

Neither the group, which hires canvassers to register voters, nor any
employees have been charged or arrested for fraud or other crimes,
said Miller, a Democrat.

But it’s not the first time ACORN’s been under investigation for
registration irregularities. The raid is the latest of at least nine
investigations into possible fraudulent voter registration forms
submitted by ACORN — the probes have involved ACORN workers in
Wisconsin, New Mexico, Indiana and other states.

In response to the Las Vegas raid, Republican Nevada Sen. John Ensign
and seven other senators penned a letter to the Federal Housing
Finance Agency calling for the suspension of taxpayer dollars to
“controversial groups like ACORN.” The letter referred to
contributions that potentially could come from Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.

In 2006, ACORN also committed what Washington Secretary of State Sam
Reed called the “worse case of election fraud” in the state’s history.
In the case, ACORN submitted just over 1,800 new voter registration
forms, and all but six of the 1,800 names were fake.

More recently, 27,000 registrations handled by the group from January
to July 2008 “went into limbo because they were incomplete,
inaccurate, or fraudulent,” said James Terry, chief public advocate at
the Consumers Rights League.

The "ue" is just what you write when you haven't got a "u" with an

Maybe. Tom trools a couple of political news groups thinking he's being
funny.

The other possibility is that he got hit the same way I did when SBC
migrated their web hosting group to new hardware and software.
All of my old settings were wiped out and it took a couple of days to
configure the new control panel.

I never bothered to check his headers but if he is smart, just replying to the group you
read it in is the way to go.

Now if we were all smart, we would just give up changing minds set like concrete

Still thousands a day is pretty wild, I've exposed a number of email addresses to usenet
and my spam count is 100 a day for the combination.

Btw, I hope any retirement plans you may have had hasn't been changed by the current mess.

SBC had a real hiccup for a couple of days recently but ya', I don't get
much SPAM either.
It's not a bad idea for Tom to use a nym. Sometimes things get heated here
or there and you wouldn't want a competitor putting an outlandish statement
you'd made in the heat of the moment in front of a prospective customer. You
might lose a sale or something.
Your meat space reputation might even take a hit.

Btw, I hope any retirement plans you may have had hasn't been changed by

Sort of.
This kind of opportunity hasn't been around in my lifetime. I've been
largely liquid for nearly five years and 100 percent for two.
I'm old, near death possibly, but I'm not going to miss out on this one and
a bunch that I have known for years have put a fund together.
I ordered CRAB's Friday for Monday delivery. First class equities trading at
multiples of 3 and 5 times earnings means this is a great time to be buying.
We may not be at the absolute bottom but sitting around waiting for that is
a fools game.

I'll bet there will be a thousand point gain sometime in the very near
future and I'll have a pretty big wad in when that happens.
There is always the possibility that I'll end up eating beans in Costa Rica
ad I'll be continuing to make stuff for a living. LOL
Rocket engines are fun so I can't complain.

Remember this Wes. A lot of people have bet against America. So far they
have all lost. I think we've got on last hurrah at least and it would be a
real shame to miss it.

That isn't to say there won't be real turbulence. There certainly will be
that, we'll have a spike to double digit unemployment by March but a year
from now things will setle down and unemployment will then be trending down,
Everyone will we'll all have learned an expensive lesson.

There is a risk of being openly political when running a biz. I was helping my master
electrician brother device out a house he was working on yesterday, brother ruptured his
Achilles tendon and is a one man operation. One of the other contractors made a political
comment and I had to check with my brother to make sure it was okay to comment. My
brother is very conservative but often works for liberals. One doesn't disrespect a
customer.

This kind of opportunity hasn't been around in my lifetime. I've been
largely liquid for nearly five years and 100 percent for two.
I'm old, near death possibly, but I'm not going to miss out on this one and
a bunch that I have known for years have put a fund together.
I ordered CRAB's Friday for Monday delivery. First class equities trading at
multiples of 3 and 5 times earnings means this is a great time to be buying.
We may not be at the absolute bottom but sitting around waiting for that is
a fools game.


Well, I hope you are not near death. Rush Limbaughs dad made it to 104 years. I have an
uncle that flew bombers in WWII and is still kicking and a recently deceased cousin that
drank like a fish and died in his late 80's.

I'll bet there will be a thousand point gain sometime in the very near
future and I'll have a pretty big wad in when that happens.
There is always the possibility that I'll end up eating beans in Costa Rica
ad I'll be continuing to make stuff for a living. LOL
Rocket engines are fun so I can't complain.


Well if you enjoy what you are doing, who cares about retirement. I've had times where
work was work and when work was fun. Sounds like work is still fun for you.

I wish I could put extra money into the market but I have enough to last about 8 months
without a job and I was there once. I'll keep putting my weekly 401K elections in, those
investments will have a decent rate of return over time.

Remember this Wes. A lot of people have bet against America. So far they
have all lost. I think we've got on last hurrah at least and it would be a
real shame to miss it.


I wonder when we might have that last hurrah myself. I don't think we are there yet. I'm
not selling a thing, 9/11 was near as bad but I'm sure this will be worse. I have a 11+
year horizon to recover in so I can take a longer view. This has to hurt for those that
were ready to retire.

That isn't to say there won't be real turbulence. There certainly will be
that, we'll have a spike to double digit unemployment by March but a year
from now things will setle down and unemployment will then be trending down,
Everyone will we'll all have learned an expensive lesson.


I'm in Michigan, so close to double digit already, I'm surprised my house hasn't been
broken into.

We don't seem to learn. The market will eventually deal with any distortions introduced.
When it does, it gets to be brutal.

Oh well, signing off for the night.

I was hit with over 10,000 e-mails in 12 hours so I have withdrawn my real
information. I'm sure some with language skills will figure it out
instantly. I almost feel bad about it but it shows to go what some people
will do if they are in disagreement.

In the mean time, I'm looking for a source of stainless steel sheet. 12 ga x
2" x 36" I need about 100 lbs. Any ideas? I wonder if Gunner might have
some in the lower 40. I need to quote on 1,000 4" mini-grinder knot brushes
that are all stainless parts to go into some kind of food service.


Buerste, I've been trying to figure out who you are. I think I've got it
now. So without giving you away, you're based in the Rust Belt and use
many miles of steel wire each week, right?

Sorry, I must have been slow that day :-). I think the thing that
confused me was the way he signed the post "Thanks, Buerste". He never
signed his posts with a name in the past, and I guess I was looking for
a pattern.
