Sheesh! I plonked that buttbite years ago.

Good thread wander, BTW.

"Needs"? The only time I have too many tools is when I have to move them.

That's how I got a few of my expensive tools. I got a call, "Come get this out of my way today, and it's free!"

Tell me about it. I hauled 17,000 pounds of tools & manuals when I moved south. Two trips in an overloaded stepvan.

We aim to please!

Too bad Usenet doesn't keep track of how many times someone is kill filed on a group to determine if they are allowed to access that group.

That can be taken several different ways, depending if you are referring to Too Many Tools as a personal pronoun or a general statement on Stuff... (ISWYDT.)

Let's re-phrase that as "Most people don't need multiple duplicates or mass quantities of unusual tools that only need to be used one at a time."

Now having spares of special tools that can break on you during use, can't be substituted around, and have a weeks-long lead time to get a new one, yes.

But having a dozen 4" angle grinders or sparkplug thread chasers is pointless. When it breaks, just go down to the Borg and get another.

Tools, books, supplies ... I've a quarter ton of fire brick I've schlepped from place to place - always intending to do something with them "soon".

The problem is the trolls that nym shift with such regularity. Like the mental case that uses the names from my Facebook friends list on a rotating basis. Ive had to go through my Facebook page and set up a killfile here and enter each name.

Ive showed time and again his various incarnations.

He will not die well. No siree!

My shop is filled with such tools. I purely couldnt afford 25% of all that I have, if I had to pay cash for them.

Assuming you have a regular and sufficient income, and not one that comes in spurts between dry spells. When you have spurts..you snag what you can..because the dry spells mean you dont buy anything.

It would make a nice pit to burn expired trolls in.

A lot of them post from fixed IP addresses. It's simple to route those posts to 127.0.0.0.

One man's trash is another man's paycheck. :)

That would be an 'Impersonal pronoun', wouldn't it? Heaven forbid that anyone try to elevate a worthless troll to that of a 'Person'.

What? Five identical soldering irons are overkill? Or just good planning by having a different tip in each iron? ;-)

Working spares are cheap insurance. Who wants to spend $10 on gasoline, to find a single drill bit that sells for $10?

Pun intended?

Which is why I forward the header information to those keeping the List. That fixed IP is what is gonna kill them.

You said that MY header info was going to get me killed... about 2 years ago! If you can't get me or TMT then what good are your "bounty hunting" skills, clown.
