Shopsmith Forums

I agree with Dusty. Regardless of what my old, possibly somewhat color-blind eyes tell me, is SHUR IS PURTY!!!

Yes this has been far too much about way too little.

Interesting that the color closest('purple lettering superimposed on the cabinet door that is barely visible due to that color closeness) is a 'darker' version of magenta. i.e. Equal red and blue with NO green.

So dark magenta it tis!

This is one of the great things about the Shopsmith forums we take a thread where a guy shows us a really nice project and turn the whole discussion into a nearly useless discussion on color.

I wish people would just stop and think if you have a question that is off topic of the thread go ahead and ask it but do it in a new thread. Opening a thread is as easy as replying to an already existing thread.

So why are you changing the 'subject'?;):D

That is why I believe EVERY POST should be required to have a title.

At least when we jump off topic we would know.

But what is happening here right now is just exactly how it happens. Ed, you just did it as JPG has so subtly pointed out.

The post titles don't even register with me, Dusty. My eyes completely ignore them and go directly to the message content.

I don't think it's worth getting upset when a thread is derailed. It makes it feel more like human interaction to me. Conversations quickly move from topic to topic and get far away from the original all the time. That's just how humans interact and converse.

I agree! The titles really do not do much for us except when searching. Getting off topic has become a way of life here.

Not to be off topic about being off topic, but the rubber gromet for the power cord..gotten easily at Lowes or a farm store? And No jpg it's black in color, flat.

[quote="JPG40504"]So why are you changing the 'subject'?]


Ah you missed my point I said if people have a question off subject they should open another thread. In my case I was pontificating and that is okay

Your lack of response had me worried for a day!

Off subject is a nit compared to altering apparent intent after the fact.

You see there is no such intent implied between sentence one and sentence two. Tain't fair to change context a day later.
