...I can remember when this forum was actually about firewood and heating with wood.

Well... seriously... not tryin' to be a smart-azz...
It ain't our fault the politicians, regulatory agencies, and their financial friends (the tree-huggers) have made the whole thing into a joke.
Heating with wood was an individual, off-the-grid, non-conforming sort'a activity... now, even the members here on this board expect you to "conform" to the "rules" (written, implied, or whatever). If ya' don't do it "their way", you're some sort of low-life destroying the planet. That's what happens when government sticks it's nose into anything... it becomes a huge joke.

Stop expectin' me to do it "your way" (not necessarily meanin' "you"), and I'll stop laughin' at ya' (not necessarily meanin' "you").
Stop slamming me as a "planet polluting hater" b'cause I ain't gonna' use one of those new-fangled elitist stoves, and I'll stop laughin' at ya'.
Stop tellin' me what my responsibilities are (as a wood burner), and I'll stop luaghin' at ya'.
Grow the frig'-up already, and I'll stop laughin' at ya.
Again... not necessarily meanin' "you".

Sorry... but... it-is-what-it-is... the whole thing (well, nearly the whole thing) is now an agenda driven joke.
It ain't about bein' an individual anymore... it about the "save-the-whales" agenda... follow the rules or you're a slob.

I'm not taking sides but I will say I have honestly never heard or thought of burning treated rr ties, poles or tires for heat.
 
I just think we've finally gotten to th point where we've covered pretty much everything. Our knowledge banks are full.

It was bound to happen eventually.

Somebody should invent some new tree species. Discover a new splitting tool design. Find another highly interesting way to stack wood.

But until that happens, all we can do is sit around and look at each other. And say silly things.
 
I think that is true, and I think it's resulted in some folks being bored and pretty much becoming trolls. I'm not saying that to be rude and I'm not pointing any fingers, just a broad statement.

It's quite unfortunate. I know I've posted real life occurrences that have happened, either to share a story or to help prove a theory or opinion and have been called a liar, thief, full of crap, etc. Have to wonder if that is what a celebrity feels like... everything and anything they do ends up being doubted and criticized by the public.

Sorry but what I post is the truth to the best of my knowledge. I have a hard enough time with my memory (part of the reason I'm a disabled vet) that there is no way I could remember lies! Not to mention as a business owner, whether I am in the capacity of "owner" or just "normal guy" it still reflects on my business.

There isn't anything wrong with disagreeing with a post, but there are ways to go about that aren't a complete slap in the face.
I certainly hope I haven't done that, if so it was not intended! Between some medical problems, stress of running the business, etc I'm sure I'm not always in the best mood, but I do my hardest not to let that transfer to my friends, employees, customers, family, etc.

your honesty will reflect in your repeat sales to customers along with new sales from word of an honest mouth from others!! it's really hard to judge someone else's knowledge in their life with out being there to disprove It and actually seeing or participating in the experience! honesty is a lie that never has to be remembered! it is what it is till proven otherwise..... judge not !
