I am only a beginner on this forum and have been delighted to read with enthusiasm the many and varied points of view and opinions with regards to woodworking and the effort of others to help out mates wanting to get something done. I have been disappointed on numerous occasions with the banter with regards to spelling and grammar included in many of the threads.
I congratulate you Al for showing that you are above those who are now surely aware that they are in fact spoiling a fantastic forum. Not everyone can be a brain surgeon, but, anyone can be an idiot.
Keep up the good work Al. ;)
But Gumby, this forum is:Quote:

This forum is for GENERAL DISCUSSION/DEBATE/CONFRONTATION etc. on any topic you like, so long as it has NOTHING TO DO WITH WOODWORK.
:D :D :D
Welcome back, Al. We've all missed you.

Glad to see you back Al, you left a huge empty space where you were. Maybe you should lose a little weight. :)
You mean those who think that a "craftsman" only uses hand tools ? :rolleyes:Quote:

Hi Al
Welcome back :D
I see you have the caveman avatar. I don't recall if this was your old avatar or not. If not let me know and I'll see if I can help out.
Welcome back Allan
Peter.
Hmmm you are right of course. By the way, should woodwork be one word ? Or hyphenated maybe ? Just a thought ! :D :D :D :DQuote:

For the record, I only sneer at people who HAVE Jet tablesaws, but don't paint them orange to remind them of their roots.

:) Hi AL, Glad you made the decision to go on and contribute to the BB.
Personally I don't care what education you had or of the correctness of your spelling/grammar what I do care about wholeheartedly is yours and everyone else's input, in a manner which unselfishly offers to anyone else your expertise no matter how great or insignificant it may be.
Keep up good work Allan and I look forward to your future posts.
By the way where is Doorstop? I was away some time back and he's now gone!!
Cheers :)
Welcome back Alan - if more people had your sense of humour the world would be a better place.
I think Doorstop might now be known as Christopha

Welcome Back Allan and thanks for giving us another go.
Some of the replies to me are getting a bit too emotional which is understandable seeing our mate has returned but let's not get too serious, a bit of debate and fun isn't going to hurt anyone.
I will still continue to encourage people who show an interest in hand tools. I don't consider it being a tool snob but a passion just like all the other forms of woodwork.

Tool snobs does not refer to someone who uses hand tools, far from it, but to someone who thinks paying a lot of money for tools be it hand or power makes them into a superior being or even a craftsman (person)
:rolleyes:
One of my neighbours thinks I'm a tool.
The other one thinks I'm a snob.

OK, so if I have it right:
Rule No. 2: No Spelling Nazis
Rule No. 4: No Tool Snobs
Rule No. 6: There is no rule number 6
Rule No. 8: No Sneerers
I'll leave the odd-numbered rules for the Monty Python fans :D :D :D
I never cease to be amazed that on a forum such as this we have such shy, retiring and sensitive little flowers :rolleyes: Say what you like. Give your opinions freely. Rant & rave. Carry on like a two-bob watch. (All on the appropriate forum, and of course, no .) If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen! :mad:
By the way: Rule 3,5,& 7..NO POOFTERS, :rolleyes: (not that there,s anything wrong with that!)
You forgot rule number 1, John :D :D :D
John already set out rule no1!!
But don't leave the house!!:D :D :DQuote:

Surely you mean a 20c watch otherwise you are being ageist which may offend those who don't remember the jingle "in come the dollars, in come the cents ..... on the 14th of February 1966"Quote:

I was there but too young to be a hippy. I had to wait for the '70s for that :D
I put the whole lot of you on my ignore list ages ago. It only takes me a couple of seconds once a week now to view a couple of posts at random as well as viewing all my new post, which are generally a good read I must say :DQuote:

Eastie.After next week I won't be here to be ignored, 'cause I'm closing down my internet connection and buggering off to QLD with the rest of the grey nomads.Taking she who must be obeyed and the caravan. Be away for two to three months. I'll let you know when I'm back on line so that you can re-ignore me, so to speak.
Bearing in mind the number of posts per day I shudder to think how many will be posted by the time I return.
So from one ignor(e)amus to another. Bye Bye! https://www.ubeaut.biz/sulkoff.gif
Have a good holiday John, and remember, growing old may not be fun, but it sure beats the alternative.
John,
Just as well I’ll be ignoring you as I don’t want to know how nice the weather is, how big the fish are and how they don’t stop biting, how the water is invitingly warm, how the outback is just so lovely in flower after a couple of drops of rain, how the temperatures a bit cool in the evenings when it drops to about 16 degrees, …, …
You’re definitely on my ignore list now :D
I hope you have more fun than you could possibly poke a stick at.
Best wishes,
Mark
