It is a shame that someone leaves because he believes he was being insulted when he was not being insulted, but if you are going to remain on one of these sites your skin has to be a little thicker than that.
If my skin were that thin I would have been gone a long time ago.
I've been insulted and teased numerous times, but I have also received a bunch of thank yous for the information I've provided (mostly related to the Asian saws, or 440/460s), and that is what keeps me here.
And when I need help or advice, there are always numerous good people on this site willing to provide it.
Also, the friendships I've made here, all of the information I have learned that is invaluable if you are playing with saws, and I really look forward to the GTGs. Call me a big kid if you want, I'm happy to be one. It is also rewarding to see the "community" help those in need.
I gotta say, on balance it's a pretty damn good place … and I'm staying!
