Joe,

I realise you are a newcomer to this board but if you have read my postings you should know that I always reply to any question asked of me.

It might not necessarily be quick enough for your liking but sometimes I need to get further information or the question might need a considered response rather than an of the cuff remark.

As you apparently need an immediate response the answer is NO.

I consider there to be no need for it to be hosted on another site because I am sure that the owners of this board will not delete the postings ( especially the jigs in this forum ) and the photos are uploaded to this board and as such will stay with the posting.
Neil might like to add further to this but I believe this to be true.

Ofcourse I have no objection to you or anyone else making the handscrews, after all that's why I post them, or you putting a link on your site back to this board and posting.

Hi Peter,

Well, maybe I'm not used to the SLOW pace you live at... as well as the time difference...

Most people, when I extend the chance for me to also share their work with world, jump at the chance to do so.

You, with your HUGE CHIP on your shoulder, for some reason, got bent and pushed out of shape...

You can take your clamps and clamp them where it will do the best good. May I suggest your lips?!

I won't even put a link to this FORUM on my page...

Hasta la Vista Baby... I'm going back home where I belong, I guess.

I thank those that replied to me with a little more friendliness.

G'Bye,
Joe

Hmmmm, he didn't take that very well, did he Peter?

Do they really say "hasta la vista" in America? I thought that was only in the movies....

Tell me again how the war started grandpa..........
:eek:

P

I hesitated a long time but can't resist....

"Hasta la Vista Baby... I'm going back home where I belong, I guess."

A good many people in the world are wishing a good many more of your countrymen would do the same thing, right now!

Joe - you seem to have taken offence rather easily - from other postings Peter is usually a very affable chap, and although he did sound a bit impatient, you did come on a bit strong.
We all have our touchy days - I got a call from some telemarketer last night - just got home after a long day, had some food on the stove I was stirring, and just about to take the second sip of a refreshing beverage. Picked up the phone, and this forced cheery voice says "Good evening, I'm Stan, calling from XX (unusual, the b---s don't often announce themselves so quickly) - how are we this evening?"
He got an answer which I will paraphrase as "I don't know how you are, mate, but I'm tired and cranky and fed up with people who call at the worst time of day trying to flog something I don't need, and please tell your marketing folks to do a bit of practical research and discover that this is probably the very worst time of day to disturb people like me with frivolous calls..."
After I'd had a (long) second sip of aforementioned beverage, I started to feel a bit guilty - probably some poor kid trying to pay his way through university and support his crippled mother, or something...
Was I too hard on him???
avagooday,

At least we consider our actions before we do, unlike some Septic Tanks on the other side of the pond who barge in without thinking and when it does not work out can only say the famous yankee phrase: 'So sorry about that."

I thought the USA was only a small part of the world ( say 350 million people compared to say 6.5 billion people) and in any case if I wanted to share my work with the good people in the USA there are a number of boards available to me. Why would I use an obscure site that would be virtually unknown.

"Quote:

Do you know what that phrase really means? Or is this another useless phrase designed to confuse rather than educate.

Now generally I am slow to get upset about things but I am now. The prepostery to think that I have to jump when you want me to is unbelievable. I am not John Howard (FYI our PM) who as your president's little deputy sheriff can only say "how high" when he is told by your president to jump.

If I was not quick enough you could have sent me a PM and I would have dashed of a quick reply to say that I was still considering your request.

Seeing that you are going back home where you think you belong all I can say " Have a nice day".


Peter.

up urs 2 matie...

Just what I thought, he does not know what he said. If he did he would not say something that means " See you later" but rather " Goodbye".

To use another useless american movie phrase " Frankly my dear I don't give a damm" what you think about me.

Remember you came to me. I never came to you. I was not so bloody impatient. I did not start the insults.


So as they say, don't call me I'll call you if I ever need you. Something I seriously doubt. I've now had my say and no further correspondence will be entered into.

Have a nice day.


Peter.

Maybe it's time to regress to the 60's and 70's and dust off the old banner.

Yankee Go Home!!!

So long, farewell, adieu adieu adieu.

Don't you come back now, y'hear!!!!

Some people will do anything to save a buck LOL

If Joe had taken five minutes to research some of Sturdees posts, he would come to conclusion that Studee is a very active and helpfull member,and that around here things may take a day or two for an answer. but instead he decided to burn his bridges.

You need to decide whether this arrogant idiot is typical of all yanks or just a one off jerk before you condemn them all.

Like all countries they have idiots and good people.

Extend a hand of friendship to our buddies across the Pacific, you will be rewarded as many of them have a lot of catching up to do.

I think it would be fair to rename this section "sturdees jigs and homemade tools". Once again well done, I wish I had the time to make more jigs !


Go Sturdee!

PS

Dear Joe,

it might bee an idea to browse around the board before sending insulting posts to a senior member who has contributed so much.

I for starters have used many of Sturdees ideas in my projects and I found he is more than happy to reply to any questions asked of him

Give the man a chance.
