Bless you Scott. You have not been party to some of the things.. nor have you commented ... nor have you acted out of sorts or called people names.

But I don't come on a chat board to fight, I come to discuss. This "discussion" turned upside down in the most bizarre way imaginable, and it wasn't me who knocked over the chess pieces. I post facts, back up my opinions with data, pictures and example. When I use other's photos, ideas or words, I credit them. I don't disparage, I don't present myself as an expert who expects to be believed without question. There is only one of those type "experts" in the universe and it isn't me.

Knowledge is one thing but it is useless without humility, an open mind, a respect for others, and a willingness to listen and share. Hope you and the shop have learned some new things and are willing to consider the depth of an argument. If not, it isn't my issue.

Regards, thanks for your compliments.

PS: A lot of doors have "hit me in the ass" in my 70 years of life, especially beginning in Vietnam, going through the investigation of the Micondo blowout offshore ... but I've never said those words to anyone. I wonder if you should reconsider your use of that phrase?
