Works fine ... welcome to the wREC, Rick!

So far so good.

Welcome to da zoo, aka the wreck/rec/wrec.

You got questions? Answers? Opinions? If so you'll fit right in.

You may see terms/acronyms like DAGS (do a goodle search) SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) BLO (boiled linseed oil) DAMHIKT (Don't Ask Me How I Know This - usually meaning "though I don't wish to formally admit it, I did the previously described screw up) PC (not Politically Correct, but rather Porter Cable) CMS or SCMS (compound miter saw, sliding compound miter saw) PLONK (the sound of a fishing lure hitting the water, describing a post as probably being a troll for reactions - typical post of this sort are inflamatory in nature, meant to get folks riled up)

Though less prevalent now, you may find someone correcting your grammar and / or spelling. Ignore it unless your grammar or spelling is so bad that your idea doesn't get through.

Youll encounter words that are recognizable but spelled differently - it's a Euro/Brtish thing - miter /mitre for example. Fortunately "schedule" doesn't have to be pronounced or the Brits would stand out clearly (shed - duooll).

What are you woodoworking interests? How long ago did you become "afflicted"?

Are you a Normite or a Follower of Roy / a user of "tailed tools" (power tools) or "untailed tools" (hand tools)?

If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

I always thought of it as the sound a post makes as it falls into the bilgewater at the bottom of one's killfile.

If a reader is fed up with the antics of a particular troll, he may toss said troll's moniker into the killfile. *plonk*.
