Yep, about the same here. I do miss the RCM of 5 to 15 years ago.

I tried practical machinist for a while, but the owner banned me

RCM and other newsgroups are just fine with appropriate filters. If
spending 1.5 minutes per month maintaining filters is too much for you
I'd suggest that's indicative of an entirely different issue...

It is not the filtering I'm averse to, it is the dearth of on topic

By supporting Mark Wieber's clique of idiot members you cause a good deal of the problem.

How many of threads on this subject have you started? I've lost count.

It's seasonal to some extent. People's shops are seasonally too hot or
cold to work in, or they are busy with vacations and whatnot. Spring and
fall are the peak times for actual metalwork I think.

There is also the case that people don't post if they don't need advice
or it's routing stuff. I've been welding up solar panel mounts which I
posted about a while back. I've also been working on the CNC lathe
LinuxCNC conversion. Then I was out of town for three weeks. Now I'm
starting back on stuff again. I also have some AR lowers to machine, a
few silencers to make, etc. now that my shop is down to comfortable
temperatures.

I probably have too many kill filters. Throwing the baby out with the

I have only one filter (Thunderbird).

That's the comma in the address field.
No crossposted messages come through at all.
Maybe throwing the baby out too, but it reduces the

Only the 000 tip appears not to violate the recommended acetylene
withdrawal rate of an MC tank in the Victor tote. My well-used set
came with a 2-W-J welding and a rosebud tip. I asked for advice before
ordering a 000 tip which I thought I could use for auto body sheet
metal, to reflow and clean up my messy MIG welds.

After it arrived I ran a bead on 24 gauge steel. It welded it OK
without melting through but the heat-affected, scaled zone on the back
side was much larger than I like.

Then you were going too slow. Afterall...24 ga is THIN ****.

Did you use a copper backing plate on the backside of the weldment?

The J28 torch is what is called an "aircraft" torch..suitable for
aircraft mechanics....

Its not much different than a standard other than smaller

a 000 tip should allow you to weld .023 material. You may have to
"soften" the flame and turn the pressure down far more than you would
a bigger torch...but remember..on thin ****..you cant daudle around.
And having a copper backplate often helps. Least..does for me, but
then Im not a weldor either. Just a hack

Gunner, who has a Marquette Aero-Jet aircraft torch half the size of
your J28
http://www.weldinghistory.org/whfold...s/torches.html

(see the first torch) with a handful of tiny assed brazing tips and of
course the cutting head..none of which Id fire up without a total
replacement of all the o rings (6 in the handle alone)

The potential welding job was on a rear fender lip where the curved
inner liner is too close to the outer body for reasonable internal
access, or to remove all the factory caulking. I gve up on welding and
filled the rust hole with J-B Weld, then tediously carved the internal
curves where the trim strip fits with needle files. The rusted area on
the other side had been larger and I MIG welded a steel patch.

Sometimes the blue wrench works..other times you have to use other
methods.

Shrug

Find yourself some thin metal sheet and practice your torch work. We
may never become experts at it..but most of the time..good enough will
work.

Some versions let you turn a filter on or off without deleting it.
It's possible the new version is looking in a different location, as
well.

You're like one of those "idiot savants",
except without the "savant" part.

I probably have too many kill filters. Throwing the baby out with the
bath water. Just a few posts a day get through, and often a reply to a
bozo I killed.

I have only one filter (Thunderbird).

That's the comma in the address field.
No crossposted messages come through at all.
Maybe throwing the baby out too, but it reduces the
temptation down to a (hopefully) manageable level.
Except for Ed...



But upgrading T-Bird seems to have broken that one filter.

Damn, there's a lot of noise in here!


You should back up your filters before an upgrade. I created a
shortcut to the folder so I can copy or restore them in the older
Netscape version. It's in the User folder of the program itself.



It's still there.
Its just not working the same way?

Some versions let you turn a filter on or off without deleting it.
It's possible the new version is looking in a different location, as
well.


Interesting.
It seems to be working this morning.
Only posts showing are single newsgroups.

Thanks, Michael. You fixed it!

I don't fix software, I beat it into submission. ;-)

You're a brain dead moron with no clues.

You have an inferiority complex - and it's fully justified.
