Ok, let me state at the outset that I like his shows. I'm sure many of you also appreciate him. I don't want what I'm about to say to be thought of as a slam of him in any way, and I am not wanting to start an argument of any sort!Here goes: Last night, as I was watching him interview Krenov "it" finally struck me. His delivery is stilted, like when a non-actor is required to stand in front of a camera to recite some lines of dialog. He seems to always be reciting, from memory, his lines, with no true feelings imparted to the dialog. Norm, on the other hand, always seems totally natural when speaking to the camera.I've been able to tune in to his shows for only the past few months. I think he does a credible job of presenting the projects that have been selected for broadcast. Certainly none of that "and a few brads to hold it until the glue dries" mentality!Do any of you also find David's delivery "forced" and unnatural?I will continue to search the DIY channel listings for his shows and tune in to any that I've not seen before.Dave
