Gloat: My saw has arrived!!

[TH]

The gloat is SWMBO concurred.

Congratulations on the aquisition of your new tablesaw. The Powermatic is indeed a fine saw, sure to cause envy among your woodworking friends. However, your application to gloat is denied.

Under the well-understood rules of gloating, your purchase does not qualify as a gloat unless you got an extremely good deal on it. Something just this side of larceny. If you merely caught it on sale, and bought it at a price available to the general public, it does not meet the gloat standard unless you were able to convince the vendor to throw something else of substantial value into the bargain.

If you wish to submit additional evidence, you may request a re- evaluation of your gloat application by the powers that be. The jury is in.

That's correct. What he has is a "neener". Neeners are very good, but not as good as gloats.

And now you will not have to pull out the set up indicators every time you need to make an adjustment. We'll need a report ASAP. :~)

Congratulations Garage. Neener is the term. And yes I'm suitably envious. A slight shade of green.

I still can't see your posts, and have no idea why. You're not shitlisted; I'd have no reason to do so. Maybe the domain..not sure.

Same thing happened to me a while back with Mr. Doveys posts. Couldn't see them, sure wanted to. I unsubscribed from the newsgroup and resubscribed and that fixed it.

[Tanus]

Never thought of that. I'll try it and let you know. Thanks.

When reapplying, be sure to use form NNR, as this qualifies more as a neener than a gloat. This should expedite clearing up this matter. The nice part is, you are still likely to get more than your fair shares of 'you suck's' despite your initial gloat application error.

Forms NNR and GLT are often mistook for the other.

Sincerely,

Apparently not as well understood as thought.

Some years back I bought a Sears scrollsaw, approx value $175, new in the box, from a Sears store, for $35. Same store also sold me a new in the box Sears bandsaw, also approx $175 value, f9r $35. But I still consider both deals warm fuzzies, not not even neeners, and definitely not gloats - because they were bought in a friggin' store and they had several more at the same prices.

Sorry, JT, but it's a gloat, because it makes me want to say "you SUCK". Why don't _I_ ever see deals like that?

Apparently because you're not pure of heart.
