BORG?
Your explanation deserves to be in the FAQ.

BORG? (hey David Eisan, lookee here!)
I'd agree there; that's the best explanation I've seen.
And I'd say it's high time Leon's explanation of left-tilt vs. right-tilt made it to the FAQ as well. Maybe David could explain to us how this all works. And what of Gary Robson's FAQ at http://www.robson.org/woodfaq/ ? That thing's never gonna get updated again, is it? It's nice to have a FAQ in a static place, but how useful is it if we can't update it? Swingman wrote: Your explanation deserves to be in the FAQ. ... t'would save a lot of trouble, maybe? ... Nah! |

Guys,
I'd agree there; that's the best explanation I've seen. And I'd say it's high time Leon's explanation of left-tilt vs. right-tilt made it to the FAQ as well. Borg added to mini FAQ I did a quick search and didn't find Leon's explaination, anyone care to point me towards it? Thanks, David. Every neighbourhood has one, in mine, I'm him. Remove the "splinter" from my email address to email me. Newbies, please read this newsgroups FAQ. rec.ww FAQ http://www.robson.org/woodfaq/ Archives http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search Crowbar FAQ http://www.klownhammer.org/crowbar |

BORG?
First reference to Borg, Nov, 98. And it stuck. At the time HD was
expanding and closing out hardware stores and lumber yards with agressive price matching policies. http://www.google.ca/groups?hl=en&lr...r%3D%26hl%3Den My only claim to fame in this world.... Bwahahaha. John Maskman wrote: I'm almost afraid to ask but I will. What is BORG? Thanks |
