Ah, good one, sport! Very nice. Bigot are ya?
With a sense of humor like that, I'm sure lots of people laugh at you.
Here I quote you, a couple posts back:
"Surfaced" (S2S, S2S1E, etc.) stock is primarily sold to folks who don't own jointers, or don't want to have to. You do NOT have to specify that it be "jointed" if the dealer is following accepted industry standards/practices. Until you admit that basic concept, there is no further point in listening to your misconceptions.'
:> : "Surfaced" (S2S, S2S1E, etc.) stock is primarily sold to folks who don't : own :> : jointers, or don't want to have to. :>
:> Actually, a lot of it is sold to people who don't know what a jointer is, : nor care.
: Read it again ... then read what you parroted.
Oookay... done. You imply in the quote above that if a person buys S2S lumber there is no need to run it through a jointer, i.e. it's already been done. And that's what you're wrong about. I'm not parroting, that's a direct quote up there.

:> And a lot of S2S is sold to people who simply aren't near a :> mill. I have several excellent hardwood suppliers within driving :> distance, but I can't buy rough lumber from them -- they don't buy it.
: And that proves what?
Your post led me to believe that you thought that
a) if a person buys S2S, it's because doing so makes having a jointer unnecessary.
b) if a person doesn't own a jointer, he/she ought to buy S2S lumber.
I was noting that a person can buy S2S lumber for other reasons, including the lack of an alternative. I can get some 50 or so domestic and exotic hardwoods within a 15-minute drive from my house. Every stick and board is S2S or better.

Go. Look. Up. What. The. Terms. Actually. Mean.
As another poster noted, these terms are defined in the industry. You don't get to redefine them at will.
S2S = surfaced two sides, on a planer. S2S1E = that, plus straight-line ripped on one edge.
If you don't believe me, ask someone in the industry. Call a mill or a hardwood supplier and ask them to define it. You'll get the same information. Look it up in a book if you can.
S2S =/= surfaced on ANY side with a jointer.

Back at ya.
: What, in saying that you don't have to specify "jointing" when purchasing : S2S1E lumber?
: Once again, it is simply NOT necessary!
You're either deliberately being thick, or you got a comprehension problem.
: Now, let's just cut to the chase. Rather than dignify any further responses : from you with replies, lets just say you are still the d*****ad you were : back when ostriches were from Australia, so, once again, go f*ck yourself.
What are you, thirteen?
