Greetings Roy,
I am make my living as a machinist. I have visited your site in the
past and enjoyed it. Learned from it too. I'm sorry it's down now. I
do hope to see it up again. And it's bad you were accused of
something you didn't do. Please don't let just one crud get under your
skin. It sucks, but there are people who will assume the worst of
others. My belief is that it's because they exhibit this same
behaviour. I seem to remember that Ron Thompson was embroiled in some
kind of copyright thing in the past. But in that case he was the one
who appeared to be using someone else's copyrighted material.
Cheers,
Eric
