Nah, you're trolling. Find another thread. Thanks.
Judging by the thread title, it would seem to me that you knew you were potentially stirring the pot. Not really because almost nobody on here really gives a rip about such inanely arbitrary apples to oranges pedantry, but I digress. So I guess who is trolling whom then?

I see that you learned how to use the report function. If you can’t take some gentle ribbing on this forum, I suggest you learn how to also use the ignore function. You are amongst real deal tree men and the men who port and sell them saws. It’s a bunch of sometimes salty sailors. I’d advise growing some thicker skin regardless.

I think it's more sharing a preference when having to be with a running saw for hours at a time. As I get older, I am more aware of hazards that my younger self didn't think twice about. Running a strato saw's biggest benefit is to the operator.

As for the person I reported, I will just ignore. That said, the internet is full of trolls inserting themselves into regular discussions that just derail. Was hoping maybe that was more frowned upon here.

Im brand new here too. Not at all new to saws, cutting, porting, welding, machining etc. How old are you? This thread is hilarious, a sense of humor doesnt hurt to have in life eh?

Old enough? Chainsaws are a great hobby for me. I love building them and using them to make money. Glad you get a kick out of the banter.

And banter it is, Ryan makes a living with a saw and I know several others that do also doing removals and logging. To most on here 3-5 oz makes zero difference, a 11-1500$ saw to make a living isn’t that much money and they wouldn’t buy something they didn’t like because it was cheaper or 3’oz lighter. They also don’t buy 4-500$ refurbished axes and worry about getting the gullet. You definitely need a little tougher hide hanging out here but vast majority of the people on here are down to earth people that will help each other out while giving a ribbing at the same time.

I personally have reported you so many times I can't believe you're still here. What's your secret?
