hcnchnchncch! Addict! Enough of the grovelling self-justification.

Admit it! the group is worth the crap! The crap _IS_ the group! Without the "crap" the group would die.

This not because the carp is anything to do with the topic, but because you will not get LIFE from dead people.

Ignore what you want. people post what you don't want. LIFE.

"hcnchnchncch!" how DARE you say that to me! ; ) I do like the atmosphere... it's like a boys club for degenerate metalworkers.

Welcome back Walt. Had the same feelings you did but stuck it out since I figured it would calm down ever the elections. Checked out your new web site. Great job, nice pics. Will have to go back and sign your guestbook.

From a metal-wood worker east of you by about 50 miles.

Said well as only Old Nick could!

Welcome back Walt!

Now you know you are addicted, both to metalworking and this newsgroup

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, nonaddictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or the secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious or secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

May you have a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2005, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make the world great, and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, political belief, choice of computer platform, or sexual preference of the wishee.

By accepting this greeting you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for herself or himself or others, is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is under warranty to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and the warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

I'm going to think about this one real hard, Nick. Somehow, carp bring the dead back to life? This isn't the old "throw away the carp and eat the plank" joke, is it?

You have a good subject for an article there. Try Gourmet Magazine.

Hey, if I transfer it freely and you subsequently revoke it, am I under an obligation to revoke the transferred greeting?

Winter solstice? WINTER solstice? You insensitive clod! What about all the aussies and kiwis? And for that matter those guys on the international space station, who experience an entirely different solar calender?

Such political insensitivity is very unbecoming you know. You might as well have said "Merry Christmas" without being much more in the wrong!

On Fri, 24 Dec 2004 12:46:57 -0500, "wallster" calmly ranted:

Those don't work. Look for a 12-step program instead, Walt.

1. Buy a welder.
2. Buy a lathe.
3. Buy a milling machine.
4. Buy tooling.
5. Beg, borrow, or steal raw materials. . . .
6. Spend too much time in the shop to ask questions.

Personally, I'm working on #3. :^) --Glenn Lyford

Ugh! Kill the flash and scrollers, PLEASE!

Other than that, looks OK. --Glenn Lyford

hehehehe... pimpy!

Is that like bling ? I had to ask a teenager what that was. I figured it was like being a nerd with the bell on a bicycle , bling bling bling.

At least slow it down.

Well, that AMF/Hardly with _whitewalls_ looks bloody pimpy if anything does. =:-0

Wot? With the typo, you mena?

What *I* see on the page is two large blocks which would have had the Flash in them if I had allowed it, and to the left two pair of dice which appear to have rolled once (I limit the play-throughs of animations), and well below that dark gray text on black background (nearly invisible) with no signs of active links anywhere. Is that information in the flash? If so, you have limited the number of people who can get anything from your page.

Merry Christmas, anyway, DoN.

Ayup..there is..and thats exactly what got most of us into this mess

First it was a screwdriver and a loose screw, then a window needed a new screen, and then the wife wanted some plant hangers........
