masking tape - removing it from walnut stock

[browningautorifle]

The purpose of a "thread" in an "on-line forum" is supposed to be for the mutual benefit for everyone who participates in that thread, not just the O.P., in my opinion.

Yes but we've discussed this very thing two dozen time I'll bet, and still it goes on... We just tell each other the same thing endlessly.

I figure anyone who really cares will search, find the 20 times it's been talked about, and read. New context always gives new perspective.

We just tell each other the same thing endlessly.

That's pretty normal everywhere and not limited to milsurps. For example, I used to have the same conversation a few times a year with my late grandmother who passed away this year at 92...It would always start with "Where are you working at now dear"...my response...then she'd always say..."But honey, don't you want to work for a living?", because anything less than manual labor just wasn't work in her mind, and she couldn't fathom the misery of not being "gainfully employed" on a farm. We would then always talk about farming when she was a kid and something new and interesting would come of it.

I guess my point is I just like talking to you all, especially now with lockdowns and turmoil, and it really doesn't matter how it starts or ends, or whether it's about tape for the 20th time or something new - it will be fun regardless.

A person, OP, asks a question to solve a supposed problem.

He is politely given a number of promising, but, different 'solutions'.

If the OP responds by saying "thanks", tells what he tried and how it worked, or even says: "he decided not to proceed", all is well and good. He held up his end of the Social Contract.

If he never responds, he is rude. Some of us feel ill used and 'irritated'.

Others will not see a testimonial, validating a really good approach.
Nothing is learned about what was successful.
(We may gain insights, wanted or unwanted, into the personalities and character, of ourselves and others).

There is a lot of verbiage.

It will continue to grow, because a lot of forum members will continue to answer the original question, not realizing that the OP is ... long gone ... had to fold his laundry ... or was just 'dicking' with us all along.

I'm done with the subject.

As far as I am aware when one logs on to the Milserps Forum, the forum doesn't suddenly have remote control over all users brains and body functions, forcing the forum member to contribute to threads against the user's will.

If forum members don't approve, can't be bothered or don't wish to contribute to a certain thread, then the answer is simple, just ignore the thread.

There is one or two active threads on this forum that I really can't be "bothered with". I just ignore the thread/s; I am not constantly criticising people who do wish to contribute to the thread/s by making silly comments.
