The last time I saw his name was in a "poll" over on the elite WoW site but there was no date so don't know when he posted it. *note: I threw in the "elite" for George (kidding, George, just kidding) : ) I'm sure Lyn is just very busy with writing turning articles and, more importantly, medical articles. By the way, Joe, I think about you almost everyday.....when I move that black wood you got for me to make the clam box; I did get it cut in half! Maybe I'll have the clam box done when next we meet. : ) Ruth www.torne-lignum.com |

Joe Fleming - San Diego ======================= Joe, I remember Lyn having a problem with someone on this group several months back and he said he was leaving us. I guess he did. I miss his product comparisons and tool evaluations. Maybe Fred Holder knows what Lyn's doing now. Ken Moon Webberville, TX. |

I've seen Lyn over on Wood Central..........though not lately. He does have
a collection of his articles posted on Fred Holder's site. Barry "Joe Fleming" wrote in message oups.com... Has anyone heard from Lyn Mangiameli lately? I haven't seen a post by him is quite some time. Joe Fleming - San Diego |

Hello All,
I last heard from Lyn on May 18 with this message: "I've been very ill, the lung stuff just about got me this time. I'm back home again, and hope I get to stay here this time. It's going to be a while before I get back up to speed." I haven't heard anything more, but did just e-mail for an update of his health. I feel we should all wish him well and speedy recovery. If I hear anything more, I will post an update. Fred Holder http://www.fholder.com In article .com, Joe Fleming says... Has anyone heard from Lyn Mangiameli lately?

Ditto. My block is setting on the corner of my workbench right where I put it when I got home. I use it as a coaster for soda mostly. One of these days............ African Blackwood, if I recall correctly. Thanks for the update Fred. Joe |

Hello All,
I just received an e-mail from Lyn. He is recovering and graining strength daily, but is still not strong enough to answer all of the e-mails asking where he is. Please give Lyn time to recover and perhaps say a prayer for his speedy recovery. He is hoping to be back with up soon. It the meantime you can read his articles at my web site.

I'll stick my nose in here and say that I go to Bill's site often and have learned a lot there... I also used his pictures and suggestions for making a static bowl sander, which fueled an investment in power sanding... (always seems to lead to more bucks, doesn't it?) IMHO, I like the fact that a lot of the group here have related commercial endeavors and remind us about them once in a while.. If Bill Grumbine hadn't reminded the group about his bowl turning DVD, I not only wouldn't have known about his great web site, http://www.enter.net/~ultradad/index.html but I wouldn't of bought his DVD and found out that I have a highly developed turning muscle.. I got a rise in self confidence, knowing that I WAS in good shape.. round IS a shape, right? mac Please remove splinters before emailing |

You go to Bill Noble's site, or to Bill Grumbines?
I can't agree with you more about being reminded of commercial endeavors. Good stuff. While I usally don't mind them, I think they are particularly offensive when posted off topic, in the middle of a thread, and especially a thread concerning the welfare of one of the best posting members this group has seen. It thrills me to no end to find this thread and anxiously go to it to see how Lyn is doing, and thankfully, find out that someone has something for sale, and someone else has been builiding a muscle. I feel so proud. Robert |

"operator error" - apparently the NG engine uses something other than the
title to determine if a post is part of a thread or not - you will notice that I changed the title - I hit the "reply" button by accident and just changed the title - some day I'll read the NTTP protocol document and maybe know exactly what happened - on my browser this shows up as a new thread, but apparently not on some others - sigh ..... such is life happy turning bill wrote in message oups.com...

If you hit the "Reply" instead on "New post", then it goes into the last thread you were reading. (At least that's how mine works.... I think! (:-) ) Ken Moon Webberville, TX. |

You guys are going off the deep end here. Bill's commercial post was a completely different thread.....on MY news reader. (See what I mean.) Just the same way you can't ASSume that everybody drives a 3 hp. Stubby with a complete selection of Glaser tools, you can't ASSume that everybody uses the same news reader you do, or that other people are even useing a news reader. Many, many people use Google or a browser or some Frankenstinian combobulation like Internet Exploder that pretends to be a browsernewsreaderemail and Gates-only-knows _how_ stuff shows up on that or any other piece of software. Point being, he very likely _didn't_ interrupt a thread on _his_ newsreader, which he posted from. And, since I'm on a roll here ... apropos of nothing specific: There is a distinctly different tone here than there was a year or so ago. Not necessarily in reference to this thread, but there _is_ a small but short-fused, ill-tempered and occasionally foul-mouthed minority (and if you are reading _your_ name here, remember who's putting it there) here now that has put a decided edge on this once very family-friendly newsgroup. Now, I'm not casting any stones, but the tone is decidedly similar to that often found on rec.woodworking, and in fact, can be found on posts and in threads that are crossposted with msgs from that particular forum. Many people have bemoaned the departure of sundry luminaries from our midst over the past year, and yet few have managed to tie these two events together. I can remember half a dozen people who used to post here in great volume and through their efforts, insight and humor taught us much and made us laugh a lot. Yet most have departed for greener and friendlier pastures, all because a few blowhards think it's okay to treat total strangers worse than they treat their dog, or that just because someone doesn't excoriate them for it, their gutter language is acceptable here. Personally, it's no skin off my nose who comes or goes. I've been here almost since Day 1, and on UseNet since well before that, so nothing is a surprise to me. This isn't "my" newsgroup, and I'm not the self-appointed NetCop for it....just making observations gleaned from years of watching and reading. Besides, most people ignore my posts and I've often said, the quickest way to end a thread is to have me respond to it, so I'm used to being ignored. So, digest it or spit it out, as you will. Just some food for thought. -- Chuck *#:^) chaz3913(AT)yahoo(DOT)com Anti-spam sig: please remove "NO SPAM" from e-mail address to reply.
