Ian, 	
	
Chill out dude! You broke the spell checker with that last post, then again,
maybe you did not use it!	
	
It is perfectly fine to be critical of those who part out a perfectly good piece
of equipment just to stuff their pockets with cash. Those who complain are the
guys who don't need the parts! Ha Ha. The ones who support the philosophy just
bought parts from the guy, so what else can they say? (LOL)  	
	
Whoever came up with this 'thread' business anyhow? Some corporate executive
with too much coffee break time on his schedule? Something is amiss when the
history of the origin of the term is more interesting than the topic itself!  	
	
Ice down with some ice cubes Ian and get in your best form for Turkey day. Now
who was it that came up with the idea of kicking around the bladder of a Pig for
amusement while they ate the Turkey that used to be the neighbor's pet? Isn't
variety great? 	
	
Ian is right. This thread is long enough, so let's snip it off and find
something else to chew on for a while. Sharpen up those canines for efficient
gnawing on a turkey drumstick while the guy to your left complains about the
lumps in the mashed potatoes! Sometimes dinner guests forget they are their as a
courtesy, it is not written into their birthright! My ex-wife cured her cousin
of that, by 'accidentally' smacking him up along side his head with the family
heirloom antique cast iron gravy ladle! That thing weighed enough that you could
use it to pound a ground rod into Michigan clay soil which has the consistency
of reinforced concrete! Not only did he get a lump above his left ear the size
of a double yoke farm egg, but when he regained consciousness he discovered that
the hot gravy in his ear was dripping onto the collar of his freshly starched
white shirt, running down his neck, down through the six or seven hairs on his
chest and directly into his designer boxer shorts with the Craftsman tools
depicted all over them and giving him that warm, glowing all over, sensation!
Not only did he never complain of lumps in her mashed potatoes again, for some
reason, he never came back for dinner after that.         		
	
Sorry, I digressed. Happens a lot since I started taking these high potency
vitamins the Podiatrist prescribed for this foot fungus I picked up wile going
barefooted at a Ham Fest Flea Market. You get these funny circular bands of
different colors running in perfect rings around your toes ...

My opinion that this thread has more than adequately run its course...it
DOES appear from time-to-time and seems to continue forever.  I'm about to
filter and delete anything with "parting" in it.  It is nice though to know
that there are so many people actually alive out there.

BOTTOM LINE...If we don't like people parting out equipment that THEY OWN,
then we are free to offer then enough money that they will see it to you
intact.  

Otherwise we have to reason to COMPLAIN. 

It doesn't matter what you or I think because it DOES NOT belong to us but
to THEM and when I last checked, it's not acceptable to tell people how they
handle THEIR OWN BELONGS.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Ian, K6SDE
