I have visited or may be a member of a few forums, both in this genre and in others.... But I have found this place to be like your favorite pub or bar, a place to retire to when others try to rain on my parade, or as Sir John said "F" it up for you... I do remember someone start a rather racist attac on any and all users, importers of Chinese and Indian tools back at ME... An I do remember Sir John standing up and telling the guy to quit... I like this place, I do check others, but always return here for guys like Sir John, Awemawson, Doubleboost to name a few... There are others too, I can't remember you all! :mmr: Kjelle |

I access both sites, and as a complete novice get something out of each of them. The archived magazine material in ME is great for beginners, but the $hite software makes it a pain to download and read an article at leisure. Howsomever there aren't many laughs over yonder, it can all be a bit too po faced for me; I even got marked down for spelling by one (explosive delighted) chap. I think the geographical spread in MM adds a lot to the fun, Aus, NZ, the US, Canada, Scandinavia, and, well, Durham. :wave: Also the "interest base" is wider here, making it more a broadly based home machinists site than the relatively introverted world of model engineering. Just in the last few days, we've had a major rebuild on wire EDM machinery, two car restorations, diesel replica traction engine, and new V twin engine building: I like that. Eug |

Can't say I've ever gotten anything useful from the aforementioned site apart from grief or being shouted down.... As for the po faced comment, yep entirely agree, it,all seems very clique based....You dont fit in unless you have a Myford are building a loco or some other steam based project with wheels.... Well back to the nursing home for me...Nurse! Nurse!....... |

John So it's just Indoor Electrics for you then, :bugeye: or are you still partaking of outdoor aviation? Pete |
