Really? you mean that the post does not show on my screen or I am not alerted to their post.

The latter would mean that the thread would be incomplete and would not make sense, Hmmm I think Ille just carry on and be a man and take it on the chin,-- you know ' sticks and stones'

Uffer was about to inform Catbuilder why his boat was built under incorrect conditions. As an amateur fibre glasser I would have been interested. I will never know,---and neither will Catbuilder. we all loose, even you.

Catbuilder is the one who requested that thread be closed; further, the last several posts did not contain any new information on boatbuilding but only hostility.

If Uffer wanted to start a thread showing how he created the correct conditions and share his own build, that would be great.

Certainly if people can discuss things civilly while respecting one another and everyone can enjoy learning the forum benefits the most. If for example the thread contained a discussion where people shared their mix figures for different conditions, or their experience with the epoxy in question, that would be quite useful and would not have been closed. Unfortunately, that thread didn't develop that way.

Yes, I agree with everything the BD Moderator has posted here. I did request the thread to be closed due to hostility and I did that publicly. I'm sure the new account "Uffer" will not be posting anymore now that it is closed so no more hostility.

The thread had been somewhat productive, discussing the ins and outs of epoxy manufacturer's data, but it definitely derailed. Nobody was benefiting from it and BD Mod made the right choice, IMO.

It wasn't BD Mod's fault the thread was closed. It was mine.

Again!! I must have done that 8 years ago. I have written extensively about my cat,-- engines installations and drives that I have made. Pre lub pumps , low oil pressure on Yanmars. I have now a thread running on making Fibre glass pipes as that is my project now.

Im sure most of the old timers know every inch of my boat.

( Catbuilder is the one who requested that thread be closed

Yes he did and to my point of view he is missing out on some information about his build -at least an opinion of it.

It was not mindless criticism but was constructive criticism and we could all have learned something from that.

Sorry,-- out of subject and wrong thread but its closed so I cant post there about it.

It was pretty mindless. I've already gone through an entire drum of that MAS epoxy and have a finished a hull and crossbeams infused from it.

The guy was angry that I had criticized MAS for not providing standard temperature information on the hardener, so he went on the war path. There was nothing to learn. He didn't have a single picture of anything he'd ever infused.

I suppose (to bring it back to this thread) sometimes it's all in the timing.

Other threads will take its place.

Possibly a more general infusion planning/resin system selection thread will yield a longer discussion than one which started with a predrawn conclusion.

Or if you Frosty, or others, have some specific unanswered infusion questions, by all means start a more productive and informational thread.

Good point. Give me a wake-up call. Better make it pretty loud. I might be hard of hearing by then.

Sure you can; you’d just return to your own time and find out you were someone else with a police arrest warrant sworn out decades before you were born and die in custody while the lawyers argued over it for the rest of your life. Simple. The time travel is the only tricky part.

Frosty: some friendly advice. You can’t go through life blaming everything on Elvis . . . hmm, wait! Actually you can.

If you interview a large number of palliative care nurses and officers, they can recall a very large percentage of patients who can tell you about a bright light and viewing their body when they died (and were later resuscitated).

I recall two interviews on radio of these types people.

It has become so common, that a surgeon in the UK is running an experiment. When people claim to "leave their bodies" and look down on the surgeons trying to resuscitate them, it is really hard to verify whether it is their imagination or as they say.

So, he is painting bright symbols on the tops of cupboards and equipment that cant be seen unless viewed from an elevated position.

He is hoping that the next time an out of body experience occurs, the person not only will be able to describe the surgeons and nurses, the music being played and what is said in the op theatre, (as often happens), but also ask what the hell a picture of a yellow cat on the top of the theatre lighting is doing there.

Thats more like it, cant wait for a result.

I think the world should have more cynics.

But of course they can remember the music and what was said they are half awake and information still being recognised. Death is complicated to define and has stages.

These are guessed upon as they pass from one to the other quickly. Its not as if you can say-- " are you dead yet?

Bodies have sat up at there own funerals due to Doctors wrong --very wrong diagnosis.

Damn -Im sure he was dead -he said he was'nt but you know what a liar he is.
