Perhaps you have never climbed a tree to bring down a branch as thick as
a tree and taken up an axe or a simple bow saw for the job because these
are much easier and lighter and safer! A good bow saw cutting a branch
is easier than is supposed, the weight of the branch opening up the cut
nicely.

Nonsense. I have. Give me the chain saw every time. I'll do it faster
and easier.

It is not nonsense, Ed. You and I are sitting around drinking a few
beers... wooohoo... and take A BLOODY DISLIKE to two poor innocent
branches as thick as our schooners up two different hard to climb tall
trees in our yard. We down the round, take one look at each other and
it's on. You pussyfoot about with some ruddy great tree-felling chainsaw
that is hard to start and where is the fucking petrol you scream in
frustration as I grab an axe that is lying about where we drink (as is
common when Australians drink). I'm up like a monkey and the brach is
down in a jiffy while you are still fiddling about with your silly ropes
to haul up that dangerous smelly thing...


The development of the chain saw does not preclude the use of simpler or
older tools.

No, it does not. The choice of tools, however, has nothing to do with
the existence of the tools. you are confusing, or deliberately
obfuscating, the differences.

According to you, Ed, I am always obfuscating. I think of myself rather
as being very deep.

Normally I ignore your faults in logic because you are being somehow
charming or amusing. Don't abuse the leeway you're being afforded.

How much leeway have I got left? Perhaps I better ration carefully. In
the meantime, in between time, 'nother schooner mate?
