Re: blue printing
OUCH! I didn't know there was an initiation in joining this forum!
I thought I could share what I have learned the hard way and learn from those who have done the same. I never intended to patronize, put-down,belittle or diminutive anybodies' skills, ability or talents!!( Do I need to reiterate this statement to make myself clear? I have no horn to blow, ESPECIALLY at anyones expense.
If ones ego keeps them from being receptive to anything outside their realm because they know it all: look out -change and taxes are inevitable.
Thank you Todd and Martiniboat. I was ready to delete this site from my Favorites when I saw your posts.(( THANKS))
Art, I believe Dave was making a comment about a painter having knowledge about a subject not normally in their scope of experience.(Dave, please correct me if I'm wrong) when he said,"sounds like you have spent some time in the biz ". My reply was to incorporate the cliche that you learn more with your eyes and ears open, but your mouth is closed. I try to learn from everyone I can even if I don't plan to actively ulitize the info. My experience is for credibility only. BTW, 6 guys do 12 boats a week for less than $20/hr and all small parts. The out-of-house jobs are not done in half a day and I believe they make a little more than the factory guys. Doesn't the custom shop down the street make the new cars on the dealers lot look "generic"? G$

Re: blue printing
gmoney, tough crowd in here at times....i knew exactly what you meant in your post. i've done it myself , you learn a lot sometimes if you stop and listen. maybe if people asked you to clarify your statement for them, before they slam one at you, you wouldn't have to feel like you should delete this site from your favorites. btw welcome to oso!

Re: blue printing
OK... Last two posts aside.. LOL..
Gmoney52. I agree with you and understood what you said. You were simply responding to Dave's comment about you having some knowledge by stating that you've managed to pick up a few tidbits of info over the years by watching and listening without spouting off like you knew something when you didnt. Sometimes people get a little jaded around here from all of the fly by night quackpots who act like they are experts at everything. So I guess you can say there is a initiation process. Once you are around a little and contribute, people will respond knowing what you know and how legit you are. Welcome to the site and definately pony up for at least a Platinum Membership. Its well worth it.
