Re: My first GLOAT(s)

No, the problem is the combination of top and bottom posting. This post
would be an prime example of that (and of not snipping, which another cause
of "problems").

:)

Personally, I like reading top posted messages because I can read through
the threads, in order, and I don't have to scroll down to the bottom of
every posting to read what the last person said. You can just "CTRL-U" (or
whatever your readers "Next Unread Message" key is), and never use your
mouse. And I can figure out that the top block of text is the most recent,
the next block is the second most recent, etc. So it still makes sense.
And regardless of your opinion, there is no "right" answer on top vs. bottom
vs. middle posting, although anyone who middle posts is insane. That's MHO,
anyway.

I do, I have and I don't have a jointer. What's the problem? The jointer
in
the home shop is a relativlely recent thing. So many put it on the "must
have" list these days. It is far down the list as far as I'm concerned.

buy some unsurfaced wood and try to make, say, a tabletop

I don't have a jointer or planer, but IMHO, the planer is the new item..

I can remember when I was a kid (like 50 years ago) seeing jointers in
most home
shops.. big heavy cast iron monsters...
I never saw a planer in a home shop before the Dewalts came out a few
years
ago...

(In my younger days I lusted after the Shopsmith planer attachment but it
was
way too expensive)

Someone asked earlier what the big deal was about "top posting"

The sequence of posts I just quoted is a prime example when someone top
posts.
