Dusty: If Dreamcatcher takes you up on your offer to rid him of the nuisance with the tiny tilting table, you may want to get some bleach so as to counter all the pi$$ stains. Sorry I could not help myself!:D

I've read a bit about the toolmongers postings and he's a shopsmith advocate. If you read all the way back, he's got some great comments. I actually agree with him, the power pro looks great but my higher authority here at home would never go for it unless I save up my milage reimursements from work for a year. And I have started saving.

I doubt that will ever happen! You heard him. He said his mommy won't let him get rid of it. Now tell me, just how often do you think his mommy comes into the shop where he does all that professional wood working.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. Pocket change won't pay for one but I know how the next stimulus check from Obama will be spent. If I had known about the PowerPro's coming out, the last stimulus would have been so used (hers and mine).

Now, I'm pissed. I didn't get no stimulus check.

Good point. It's nice to have options.

Yes, you are correct. I directed my rant at the wrong person. The Tollmonger is only the "messenger". My frustration is really with the comments made by Dreamcatcher.

Furthermore, looking at this a day later, what does it matter. I truly believe that everyone has a right to their opinion(s) even those who have opinions that differ from mine. When I wrote all of that, I certainly was not practicing what I preach.

Don't get me wrong - I still violently disagree with the Dreamcatcher in most of what he said.
