[TheForge] TheForge Digest, Vol 198, Issue 6

[ROBERT FERTNER]

 Andy,How you doing? I hope everything well with you. Well, I hope everything is well with everybody on the list. Time is moving on and only us dinosaurs seem to be on an email list. Sadly, less dinosaurs are still roaming around. Even my group here in Kansas, a lot of the guys are using the book of faces and messenger.I don't and I'm the editor. :-) I do want to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving.

 It occurs to me that there is very little reason why the conversation 
cannot take place here.

There are fewer people here now perhaps.

We cannot be the only ones who would prefer a format similar to 
theForge, or artmetal, or metalshapers

> Hey Andy, Steve. I miss the .lists too. Facebook stinks but it's where almost everybody is anymore. <sigh> The artmetal.list died quite a while ago. I think Theforge is the last one up. Even the fora are fading out, I think Anvilfire is just the archives since Josh passed and Iforgeiron is just a trickle of posts since Glenn passed.

There were maybe 6 of us at the counter and we all looked around and Mike Palmquist says, "We ARE the old timers." It was a sobering morning. Mike passed maybe 3 years later while selling all his stuff. Not at the sale / auction but during.

Just to add to the exchange, I needed to renew the clutch on my 50 Lb'er Little Giant (old style that Fred Caylor sold me back in the mists of time ~ 1991) - with the help of the guys in Nebraska, it's done.  Buying the DVD's was a GOOD idea (though seeing someone lifting the pulley unit manually while I had to use a chain-fall was a good hint about the difference between 25lb & 50 Lb — and I don't even want to think about working on a 100lb unit) - Steve
