Could be a bit of jealousy?

Oh yeah. . . I'm super jealous over Brad's public floggings! :dizzy::laugh:
(I know you were referring to 'their' jealousy BTW, just making a joke)

My take on what happens to Brad in his threads that start off good. . . 'Let him that is without sin, cast the first stone.' :D

Brad, what cologne do you wear? The reason I ask, is that every time you start a thread, it goes to hell. Wondering if the cologne sends of negative pheromones and makes the neighborhood dogs' want to fight? :laugh:

Either that or you were born with a target shaped birthmark on your back. :dunno:

Only one word comes to mind. Of course if I typed it, they'd be on my back again, lol. I'm told that if they're shooting at you, you must be doing something right:clap:

There is always something to shoot at when you're as transparent and honest as many fine people that hang out here on AS! If one hangs in the shadows and waits to pounce........... not much of a target there!

Shoot, before joining AS I didn't even think about modding a saw......maybe at some point..... The wheels are a turning! LOL

I've always enjoyed reading the en-depth threads on saw building.

I wonder if the "big bang" was caused by someone pushing the envelope on modding an engine? LOL

Now you've gone and done it!!!!!:laugh: I did not say that. Watch out, here comes the firestorm and name calling.

Not real worried about some of these clowns. You are a saw modder, and until some of the others step up and sponsor this fine site, you and TS will be the "modders"

Just saying, as the rules say. You paid the $ to step up. Anybody else has that free range of going through the same steps. But your work is also all across the country and scrutinized by many. But yours and TS are the main ones that get posted up on here for everybody to see.

And not trying to start anything

So he who steps up and pays to sponsor this site some how also by that act is embodied with the "technical" know how and knowledge to build a better saw than all the other modders out there? What are you saying here?

Or are you saying only those who pay dollars to this site have the right to mod saws? I don't get what your message is...so Ill try a few more different flavors on how this can be interpenetrated.

Maybe you are saying spending sponsor money here allows one to forgo spending the time and dollars in R&D to develop a product..yet still can be called an expert in their field? By the act of sponsorship instead the rigors of competition & research?

And therefore spending dollars here allows the marketing of the obtuse vs. having to stand the scrutiny of competition or any other tangible comparison with other builders?

So please spell it out for us...and show this concept in a way that makes it easier for potential customers to spend money on those who would mod for hire simply because they "bought" the rights to that activity by sponsoring this site!

And...I don't care If I start something as this type of attitude needs to be flushed out for all who might spend money on modifications to see.

I would also observe Brad does a better job of marketing his wares than these supposed friends who tend to bring up concepts such as this...and then Brad gets stuck with this stink not of his doing...he was doing just fine until the monkey brigade decided to help!:monkey:

(Love the jealous theory!..What do you think Brad, Is woodchucker jealous of anyone relative to fast saws?)

A better approach is a page out of Brads book..not claiming to be a race saw builder, simply a hobbyist willing to push the barriers a little and grind where no one has ground before (Sometimes paid for by friends&customers)...and we all benefit by his postings and pictures. Either to see what not to do or to go ahead and start out own hacker specials. So don't poison the well with that pay=expertise concept please.

(My bet is Brad has sold more Dremel tools than saw mods..only its Walmart getting those Dremel bucks!)

So we are monkeys now?? Let me ask you this. Have I ever had any quarrel with you? have I ever said anything this degrading to you?

I speak my mind completely independent of Brad, I simply call things as I see them. Apparently owning a saw, or knowing Erick Copsey makes one become a D I C K as fast as his saws are.

If you are proposing the dollars spent on sponsorship equals expertise or making "p" comparisons..or start calling people names......yes. I don't know who Erick is. I would ask the same questions of him as well if he charges dollars for mods.

To this point I haven't seen you do that...but..hey there is always a first time! LOL I don't have a quarrel with you to this point..unless you want one.

Do you not read what you type? I'm good friends With the man you're trying to discredit, and you do know who EC is, as he ported Jason's saw. You essentially called me a monkey, that I do take issue with!!
