Be Nice. Also, don't post PMs.
This is for everyone.
1. Be nice. Don't piss on other people's threads. There's gotta be a way to promote what you do without tearing down what other people do. There's got to be a way to redirect a misdirected or redundant question without discouraging people from contributing.
It breaks my heart when people tell me they don't post on this site often, or at all, due to fear of being humiliated by some of those who post here very frequently. That's not the way it is supposed to work.
I am sorry I don't police the site better. I don't catch a lot of the sniping. Please police yourselves.
2. Don't post private messages (PMs). That's generally a big no-no around here. If you feel you need to make an exception, you sure as hell better check with me first.
In short, act like adults; fun, grounded, smart adults.
also:
3. Pay attention to your breathing. It helps.
Thank you.

Mulchefye/Ratman,
You need to chill, brother.
No offense meant, but this is a long-game kind of hobby, you know. Patience is the game, my friend. Most of these cats have been at it for over ten years, and have invested tend-of-thousands of dollars into the craft. You've gotta give respect where it's due, man.
(By the way, I enjoyed your dedicatory track for lathe-trolls.)
(Dear, Mods,
I read Mulchefye's Recordio threads. Please, don't ban him, as he helps contribute to the exploration and restoration of older lathes. "Think of the children.")

Hi. You were never banned. As stated in my PM of 17-DEC-15 I deleted your thread for the reasons stated in my message so it's not possible to edit. Glad to see you're getting in the swing of things here.

Every time I log in the first thing that happens is Hand Cut's profile is the first page that loads up !?!? I sent him a pm by mistake asking for help without seeing the rest of the board topics
hopefully he will forgive me for that 1 ![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
