WOOPS...

WOOPS...

With any luck the criminal element won't pick up on this alternative to the obvious ski mask.

My bank has a "please remove your helmet" sign for the benefit of snowmobilers.

[Joe]

Mine bank's a little more direct. They just instruct you to leave your weapons at the door.

Seems to be working.

Woops what? You finally figured out that this is a woodworking group?

Please stop with your off-topic political crap.

scott

[Dave]

I agree with Scott. if you want to talk politics, go to a politics blog. I am trying to pick up good woodworking wisdom, not read opinionated crap I can get anywhere. Dave

[else24]

Yo, Dave. Scott. See that big OT there in the subject line? That means Off Topic.

To put it another way, when the subject begins with "OT" that means it's off topic.

So, if you don't want to read off-topic stuff, try not to open the off- topic stuff.

Let us know if you need more explanation.

[Fred the Red Shirt]

Well that pretty much proves he knew he was posting in the wrong newsgroup.

[Scott Lurndal]

Thanks for the advice. When the OT crap exceeds the T crap by volume, it's time to rethink your sage advice.

Take is somewhere else.

[busbus]

Wow. How long have you guys REALLY been perusing this group. Sure, Robatoy (and others) may post some OT stuff but if you would look in the archives, he has a wealth of knowledge and probably forgot way more than you and I will ever learn about woodworking.

Somebody else said it right: Ignore the OT stuff. At least he is telling you up front it is OT. This group has been getting pounded recently from spam garbage from China or elsewhere and THAT is where most of the garbageis coming from.

Geesh. Lighten up. If you have some burning question, please, ASK IT. Unless it is for a plan uless you want JT to set you straight. :o)

I should take is somewhere else? Can I has cheezeburger? :-) Hey. I have an idea. Maybe you could go read something on topic.

For years, this group has had, and accepted, off topic posts. Kitchen table talk. It's been just fine.

Then YOU came along and spoiled everything for everybody.

[Robatoy]

What part of OT don't you get, scott?

[Robatoy]

I'll send you a corkscrew:

[DS]

Traditionally, everyone in the group just emails JT directly with plans requests. Keeps the traffic down in here.

;D

[Robatoy]

[else24]

Oh, man. You're going to have a hard time finding something to sacrifice to the wood gods that'll pay for THAT one.

[Jeff]

Here's a clue for you and scott: Start an on-topic discussion.

Carry on, Robatoy....

[DS]

It only counts if he gets a bunch of emails.

[Tanus]

Why should he?

[Mark & Juanita]

Ah, CAIR is involved. Generally points to a put-up job and the desire to portray victimhood.

[Robatoy]

Hay, That iz MAH BUKKIT!!
