Mr. Garrett;
Starting with your automobile which I am sure you drive because you would
"Much rather deplete everything in your
lifetime and let the next generation worry about it" you should give some
thought as to what you are speaking of. A huge percentage of "synthetic
materials" are derived from the byproducts of the refining/cracking process
of petroleum in producing fuel for your car....would you rather that these
by-products just be dumped, or burned? Isn't using these byproducts in a
constructive manner just good common sense?
You reply on your computer which pollutes from the manufacturing
processes/chemicals required and uses your precious "non-renewable"
resources...or do you have a wooden computer with cotton circuitry?
You use electricity which probably comes from hydro-electric power which in
turns stops efficient spawning of Salmon and other fish stocks..does this
bother you?...perhaps you use batteries?......they pollute also and use
"non-renewable" resources.
Just keep adding to the list and you will find that you have no 'good'
reason to be making negative comments about anyone else...............While I
am on the subject of your negative comments concerning me...you display a
tendency to make negative comments to others on the list when you disagree
with their opinions. We all have our own opinions and are free to state
them...and should be free to state them without fear that someone will take
the opportunity to say things such as you have displayed a propensity to
do.................
As for me being a card carrying member of any "alphabetic
groups"............ the only such group of which I am a member is PTG is that
'radical' enough for you?...............speaking of PTG you are continuing to
post much unreqired stuff to the list and are filling up the archives all out
of proportion to the content...........I am reposting below one of your
latest replies as an example.
If your comments to me were meant as sarcasm, they failed. If meant as
humor, they weren't funny. If however you truly feel and think in this
manner, where name calling and gratuitous attacks are acceptable, then it is
your problem and not mine.

Subject: hammer softener
I am interested in trying a hammer softening solution to mellow a set of
bright hammers. I have never tried this method of "voicing" hammers and was
curious as to what the pros and cons of this method might be. I would also
like to know whether to buy a premade solution or if there is an acceptable
homemade alternative.Also, how much solution should be applied and what is
the best method of application. Any suuggestions would be appreciated.
