It seems obvious that we each have our own tolerance levels for what goes on here on the forum. Mine is "LOW" and I know that. Mine is especially low when the discussions get crude and/or personal.
The ignore function really does not work. The text of an ignored post is not visible but the post is still there and you are told so. I use the ignore function only for those posts that appear to me to be spam (potentially hazardous). For subject matter (politics and religion mostly) that I am just not willing to participate in, I just click through. I apply my own "ignore function".
Hijacking is something that I have come to accept as normal behavior. Why? Probably because I am as guilty as anyone. Why is hijacking an irritant at all? Only because a lot of good information comes to the surface during these discussions and that information becomes somewhat more difficult to locate later if it arises during a hijack.

I am not inclined to "call out" anyone. I am not a member of the forum police squad. I am nothing more than I participating member, all be it with emotions.skou wrote:Dick, (Dusty) if I get out of line, do NOT hesitate to call me on it.

Believe me, if I am sufficiently irritated by a post, you will know it if you read your Private Messages (PM). That is where my police duties end.
When that does not work (and there have been times), I just log off. When logged off here, I am likely on another wood working forum (there are several). The other forums are not particularly Shopsmith friendly.

I'm sure that some believe that I ramble incoherently mainly because I do. 
If you came to my farm for a visit you would find that I ramble just as bad in person.
Part of that is that my life has always been very broad and I have always had a lot of different interest and have always worked at multiple occupations at the same time. I have always had a lot of irons in the fire at the same time and jump from one to another many times a day. This farm generates a huge amount of work of all different kinds and I often flit from job to job. This afternoon I stopped other projects to haul a load of scrap steel. I have never had "A" hobby. I have always had many hobbies of a very diverse nature. If any one thing stands out it is just tools of all kinds. I am an admitted tool freak (not a tool snob mind you). I have the tools of the trade for a lot of trades and know how to use them.
This whole post by-pass thing has been pretty weird for me. I've been writing for a good number of years but due to a sort of brain fog from "pump-head" that will not go away and some of my meds, writing has become quite a bit more difficult and I tend to be even more rambling than I was. Going in they tell you that pump-head "usually" goes away within about 6 months. What they don't tell you is that in more cases than they like to talk about it does last a good bit longer and in a few cases it can last 2 to 5 years.
I have been trying to catch up outside much of the summer so I have not been in the woodshop much. By not being in the woodshop much I have not been very involved with my Shopsmiths and so have not had much to contribute to the more specific sections of the this forum. I do still read most of it and jump in where I might have a thought especially in this community forum.
Speaking of incoherent rambling...

) Keep your mind active with a lot of activities and lots of expertise. You CAN be an master of many things. I think it helps you stay young, alive, and sharp. This latest thing, woodworking, is something I have always wanted to do, but had no time, I do now ..... Dick

I stumbled onto this today and I'll bet that it is fitting for a number of us here.

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.
Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

Farmer,
That's only a portion of my thought process! There are many threads going off the extreme thought. It also doesn't begin to touch on "going down the rabbit hole" so bad that I can't even remember what the original thought was.

Make that 4!:eek:
FWIW, the reason old fogeys are 'slow' to answer some young whipper snapper is that there is soooo much stored info that needs sorting through prior to responding.
When I was whip snapping, I did not have that 'problem'. Not much was 'stored'!
