[TheForge] Suggestions needed for scroungeable steel

Thu Nov 20 16:00:01 2003

Charles,

When one can't discern the difference, what difference does it make?

I DO still share ideas with people I respect and who respect me.   
Just not on this (or any other public) forum.  I share these ideas with
my friends locally and get a lot of good suggestions from them.  

I just reflected my latest design ideas last night off a good friend
(who participates here).  He immediately accepted my bizarre notions of
what one might do with a treadle hammer, despite some apparent doubts,
and went on to address most succinctly the specific questions I had for
him.  He may doubt the utility of the concept.  He may doubt my ability
to construct the thing.  But he doesn't let that get in the way of a
useful discussion of the concept.

That's what I DON'T get on these forums.  (If you doubt this, check
this website and the internet for past postings on the Grasshopper TH
and on the Weightless Hamer.)  

I don't want to dwell on this.  I certainly do get something from
participating here, but bringing up some topics here is like trying to
discuss the your latest skin flick at a Southern Baptist's convention: 
You'll surely get their attention, but not the sort of attention anyone
would deliberately seek.

You know, Phil's comments can be taken as just a little ribbing or the

product of a small minded dickhead.  Either way doesn't matter and 
shouldn't effect you sharing ideas with people you respect and who 
respect you.    <snip>
