    They are nice guys... calling them will be a pleasure, not something to avoid.

    BTW, I love my MM24 and my MM combo.

    Oh, I'm not trying to avoid calling them, I was just wondering if the special pricing was something they advertised. Had I known about it in the first place, my decision would have been a lot simpler!

    They send out fliers a few times a year on special promotions...of course, they only go to folks who have contacted them in some way and provided the necessary information. But there are a lot of MM owners here and we tend to be a vocal bunch and mention promotions that we know of...

    i`m begining to think that maybe it`d be a good idea for somebody to review " new members" given the deleeted post by this joker and the hack a week ago...... tod

    Some poor, sad folks just have nothing better to do than cause trouble in Internet forums.

    They need a hobby. Like woodworking

    Thanks to everyone else for their advice so far. I'm going to call MM now...

    Todd,
    We had the same suggestion when Wood first posted sometime back. As it turns out Wood is his first name and Lergend is his last name. He posted in the OT froum.

    don, if you missed the post that got deleeted, this "person" needs to come visit me to get his attitude straightened out! i`ll bet my shop he`s not 77 years old further i`d wager eating crow that his name isn`t as portrayed. this may very well be the same joker who thought it funny to hack the site? tod

    I'd say the only correct sign up information he's supplied is his Occupation:

    That's not the story I saw you give elsewhere....but it is a very good answer.

    That's because in my original post on WN I wasn't considering doing much flat work. I've since given it some thought, and decided if I'm going to buy a big bandsaw, I'm going to learn to use it for other things besides making bowl blanks. Hence, my post here.

    I hope that explains things well enough.

    -Joe

    Hey guys, I think we're being duped. The last thread that got contentious had an "oldster" causing trouble too. All I can say is, the "ignore" list is a handy item, and I've got a couple more names on it.

    I not sure I understand why you think my post was causing trouble. I was merely stating a fact. Folks shouldn't get "ignored" or banned over facts. And they certainly shouldn't get banned over an opinion that's presented politely....
