Yes. It is pronounced in that way. In fact it is spelled J-a-m-i-e on
my birth certificate but I happen to like the look of the other
spelling better. It seems more feminine to me.

The first question is WHY. Most people here use a munged addy and
have an working addy written out in their sig line so that the
spambots have a harder time collecting the real addy. The ladies
on the wRECk are very welcome and very competent, we'd be glad to
add you to their number. Even if you won't comment on suckage.
Your appreciation of good wood is, however, appreciated. %-) The
confusion on the gender and addy is because, in some cases,
partners both use a single addy and you can't really be sure which
one you're talking to. There are also a couple of addys that are
odd enough that you can't be sure which bender the person is, Bob
the builder comes to mind.

If you do any turning, you may want to take a look at

Ah! I'm glad you decided to stay a while. The wReck can be a bit

Um, I guess this means that you won't be involved in the discussions of
Robin Hartl's anatomy?

...

It has
long been the practice here on the Wreck (ie rec.woodworking) to tell
someone how much he sucks when he has a "gloat." The original poster in
this thread most assuredly has a gloat. By telling him how much he
sucks, we reaffirm how gloatable his gloat is, and make him feel all warm
and fuzzy and stuff. It's all part of the Wreck culture, and things have
been done this way for years. Getting told you suck is about the highest
honor we can offer.

(Good save, Syl)

...

We also give
each other a hard time. Like the way Larry Jaques is always ranting
about the evils of staining walnut or using poly, and the way I'm always
singling him out and giving him a hard time about everything for no
particular reason. We're a bunch of smart alecks. JOAT is one of the
smarteyest alecks of all, although I don't guess we've ever had a contest
to determine who is actually the smarteyest aleck of all. Hell, it might
be me. Or Larry Jacques. It's probably Larry. Definitely. Definitely
Larry. See, there I go singling him out again, and somewhere in the
Pacific northwest the guy is scratching his head and wondering what he
did to deserve another assault on his character. :)

Must be a guy thing (no offense to the male species btw)

The wReck has often been compared to an old General Store. You know, with
old men playing checkers in front of a pot-bellied stove, swapping stories
(lies). You'll see lots of great stuff about woodworking, but also a
fair amount of Off Topic discussion that interests the denizens here.
So you may see threads about politics, woodworking, the econonmy,
woodworking, tools, job hunting, woodworking, cooking, and maybe even
woodworking.

Yes, I suppose the jabs, name-calling, and rehashing of past mistakes is a
guy thing. It's just how we're wired, I suppose.

Probably some kind of knuckle dragging male bonding thing I guess, maybe.
We are mostly males here, and mostly geezers at that. A few wimminz. We
like wimminz, but you'll have to try not to be offended by some of the
misogynistic anti-wimminz spewing that goes on occasionally (such as
referring to you as "wimminz" for example). We are no more serious about
that than anything else. (Well, generally. As with any other group of
people, there are always genuine jerks, and there are some here too.) The
main thing you need to fit in here is to be a tool user. It doesn't really
matter what you're wearing in your pants. I know lots of men, LOTS of men,
who are completely baffled trying to figure out which end of a hammer to
use to open a can of paint, or how to drive a nail with a tubafore.

So chill out, calm down, and hang out a bit.

Fine then. That's much better.

Everyone knows you drive a nail with a shoe, preferably a high-heeled

unless there are some 5-inch spikes around. One must consider the skill
involved in hitting the nail head square on with that tiny spike (while
using the flexible shoe body as the handle!). And some guys don't think
women are skilled in wood-working!

You know, I have ruined more pairs of spiked heels doing that. :)

It's a trick question. You use the head of the screw that's poking out of

It's a shot of me with nothin' but a sock and an electric guitar.

Tell us more. You're talking to a fairly large number of
ex-computer professionals, some not so ex. What kind of camera,
what kind of computer, what software. Is the camera configured as
