Hello Guys,

I found an interesting website at www.calculatoredge.com an online
engineering calculator for formula and equations you can solve at
click of a button,  If you like this website send links to your
friends and engineering group members.

No you didn't find it unless you were pissed / lost / under drugs or
hen pecked because if you look carefully your email address is the
same as the link.

Durrrrrr.

They've been spamming the Yahoo groups too...just deleted the
post/banned the submitter from DIY-CNC. Actually, its their second try
- last time was a different email address. Persistent or what.

Whilst these calculators and converter programs are good I'm dead
against the on line ones as it not always possible to have a machine
that can get on line.

My CNC machines have no networking capability and never will have.

I also get pissed off with all the adverts these programs carry with
them plus whatever else rides on the back of them.

Sir John,

Don't you hate it when the spammers assume we are both easy and stupid?

So when reading a murder mystery you read the "Who dun-it" page before
reading the plot?

Ok, you make your piston rings before you make your pistons?...

I don't make either pistons or piston rings. Having said that, Trevor
put it very well,  this is another piss poor analogy - I'm damn sure
that the ones in your car were made entirely independently of one
another - and probably in different factories.

The reality is that both posting methods are in common use - as far as
I am concerned, as long as the post is either on topic or amusing, I
don't give a damn which method the poster used.

Unfortunately, your posts have neither redeeming feature.

Tony

 Piss poor analogy.

 Do you start at book 1 of the series, every time you get to the end of
one of them?

 You must read fast!

 For me, the quoted text is just something I can refer back to if I
have to, not something that I need every time I look at a new post.

 If top or bottom posts is the best you can come up with to whinge
about, maybe you need a hobby.

Dear Mr. Anonymous. Sorry I couldn't reply earlier, but I have a life. By
avoiding the real issue of spam, and focussing instead on the trivial I
suspect you may well be involved with the spammer, a suspicion re-inforced
by your lack of courage in using a real name or valid email address.
Consequently I invite you to reveal your true interest and identity, or to
join the ranks of those notorious spammers already on my blocked senders
list.

Cliff Coggin.

Just ask any proficient secretary/filing clerk whether he/she files the
newest letters on the top or the bottom of the pile?

The Usenet convention is for bottom posting with unnecessary text/message
content snipped.

Top posting only came about because Outlook Distress did is a default IIRC, and
wasn't fixed for some years.

My 'secretary' files most stuff in the waste bin... :-))

The reason for bottom posting is to ensure that text to speech
software, used by the partially sighted, reads out the posts in the
sequence they are written.  This makes sense to the listener.

She will file them the way that the office requires them to be filed. Idiot.

I'll chip in a quid or two to get her to sort this out then.

 Otherwise, not really concerned about whether it gets posted on top or
bottom.
