I have been witness to a shaming on another machinist forum. It’s absolutely appalling.
If my only experience was that forum I might have never bought a lathe.
I'm sure glad I wandered in here!!
Easy to get lost though
I learned similar lessons from my father, but not by example. He was a grasshopper who lived by the adage "If you can't be a good example, settle for being a dire warning."
I'm in full agreement with David. I've recently suggested to some newbies on that other site that they would be better received (and treated) over here.
Regarding Bob's post, I learned similar lessons from my father, but not by example. He was a grasshopper who lived by the adage "If you can't be a good example, settle for being a dire warning." He once told me "If you can buy something on credit, do. It's almost like getting it free." He died with $700 dollars in his pocket and 7 grandchildren. If I can't pay cash for it, I don't need it.
