Glad to see this. I'm far less active here than I once was, mostly from insinuations and comments. I stalled out my custom work and put the entire shop in mothballs cause I was convinced I wasn't making any progress, and that nobody cared.

However, school started back, and I had a friend check my numbers (got him to come from B'ham to do so, an hour+ drive) and what did I find?

These people spreading hate are morons. Now that I see some effort made to rein them in (and I know how hard it is, been a forum mod more than once) I think I'll be back, showing some stuff and garnering new ideas.

There are people here whose opinion I value highly, and people who I could care less. I'm not gonna let that minority cause me to lose the benefit of the majority.

Meh, does that make me one of the manufacturers, then? I like to think of myself as "obsessed cruncher."
