We call that a Brain Fart (tm) around here. As opposed to a "Brain Burp",
which is what you take to cure Writer's Block, or get out of the rut, or just
coz you need a break.

vaguely proposed a theory
.......and in reply I say!:

The problem is how do you bend wood on a yet to built boat.
I am using wood 7mm thick and 50mm wide.




Hey jerk!

You are getting some real insights here!

WTF are _you_?

Spike....Spike? Hello?

I picked up on this note. The tone was ugly. So I looked back on the
thread to see how Marcel had transgressed.
I didn't see it. So it looks kinda irrational.
Can someone explain please?

I think Old Nick meant to point out that Marcel isn't participating in
the thread. I don't see why that's a problem... the guy asked because
he doesn't know, so he presumably doesn't have anything to contribute.

How about:

Hey guys, I am listening to the answers that people take time to
provide, at my request?

Thank you?

Easy. I get sick of people who come here and ask questions (and the
question was minimally asked) and then can't be bothered to show an
interest in the efrfort people put into replying.

Assuming he's even reading the replies anyway. Most folks with questions like
that just assume they'll be answered by email as we'all have nothing better to
do with our time, being newsgroup junkies 'n'all.

On a related note, I've always wondered if steam bending increased the
rot resistence of wood. I was thinking that when a tree grows there are
all kinds of mold and fungus spores and bacteria that must be in the
wood just naturally. But when you steam it, these little buggers would
be killed. Sterilized.
Any body ever think of this? I wonder if it would reduce or slow fungus
growth.
Also, I don't mind if people don't follow up their questions when others
give a reply. It is a little rude, but who cares if we all can learn
from the exchange?

That in no way justifies making unfounded assumptions and posting such
as ****y reply. How can you possibly know his intentions or actions? You
can't, but you spouted off anyway. That's a great way to make people
feel welcome, isn't it? It's not like you've been a big contributor to
this discussion, either.

What unfounded assumptions? What does it natter what their intentions
were? There _actions_ were that they asked for information, have had a
lot of effort to supply it, and have not bothered to come back.

I am not sure I _want_ to make people like that welcome. If they can't
be bothered to come back to their own posts then good riddance. I
admit my post was ****y. That is all I will admit. I have posted
messages with similar intent buy softer content in the past.

I have not contributed much to this thread, I agree. I am no "expert"
on the subject. I did comment on what I did know. I have contributed
quite a bit in the past, whether it was "welcome" or not. What I have
had to say is as good as a lot of what I read here. Read that how you
like.
