they do if they owe me money.
and boboak. why do i get the impression you just called me a jerk? i get offended by these guys very easily because it has taken me alot of time and hardwork along with the blood and sweat to know what i know now. and damnit man i am so very far from knowing the rest but i am trying.
and for this guy to go out and start fell'n trees with out a clue is very offensive to me.
it is what it is man. you either know what your doing and still run the risks or you have no idea and are completely at risk.

Olddirty, are you saying that someone asking for help should be denied that because you deem them unworthy? Hm. Just wondering.
Do you think that the only way to impart your knowledge is to be 'right there'?
Um, and how did you 'head out' and start fellin trees?
A person asked a real question and those that thought they had logical answers, answered. Am I missing something, I always thought that knowledge was something to be shared, I don't think that offering advice to the best of one's knowledge should be withheld for any reason unless there is some sort of 'ego-fear' thingy going on. Please enlighten me as to what so offended you, where the offenders points were off etc. etc. What is it with people that figure that because 'You wasn't there' makes it all of a sudden an incomprehensible thing worthy of lessers. Nobody will ever walk in my shoes, nobody. I can understand concerns but that does not change the facts that I may have knowledge to impart, it ain't the bible of what ta do, but surely if I deem it worthy to blather a bit it might be worth considation. Anyone catch my drift here? So what if it took you 10 years to figure something out, are you telling us you would withhold that knowledge because your afeared that someone didn't work for it? In such a case as this I figured there'd be some decent imput, alternate options etc.. Sure as heck it ain't an 'on-line' fellers instruction manual, but hey, there are all the online books and so forth that some folks'll read and follow without askin' anyone.
So if some one is stuck in a situation is it better to advise them to seek 'pro' help? Why did they ask here? Doesn't that require a bit of biting the bullet to actually ask others? I'm not sure of what I speak of but if someone asks my opinion on a method or two I surely will not avoid it because it is imparting 'hard-gained' lessons, that to me me is more dangerous than saying nothing at all. I thought the idea was to get some imput other than what they are dealing with. Just my personal opinion, maybe a bit wobbly, but sheesh men, if someone asks a question and you have a sensible idea I think it is better to state it rather than sitting around eating popcorn waiting for an outcome. On any point I have ever commented on the first thing I express is the need for common sense and safety, and will try to point out any other advice that I can think of. As always I stand to be corrected on any point I make and will take my lumps as a gentleman. That said, its kinda dumb to try and walk a novice through things above their heads, I know we don't do this, but I think it is foolish to consider all people asking questions as idiots, and consider that we all started somewhere. There are enough wise people here to filter out stupid stuff that would put people in danger, but that does not remove danger from the equation. So what do you do? If you see something dangerous and stupid, do you just sit back and wait? Or add your 0.02$ worth? Its real easy to say 'Find a pro', but how many people listen? Yup, it be a slippery slope imho. So in the future I will continue to give the best advise based on my limited knowledge and hope that other more knowledgable people won't be stingy woth what they have learned.
Just a wee blather fer the evening, as always I stand to be corrected, admonished, slapped, whatever...............
Ya, a bit long-winded but this thing about what and where you can teach has me in a quandry, of course nothing beats 'hand-on' in yer face teaching, but man, the world of learning isn't limited to that imho.
