I don't know why, but there seems to have been an explosion of small groups, all
pretty meaningless in the general scheme of things, but presumably there is a
closer community spirit or whatever than they would find elsewhere?

I'm in one for the Orcad DOS software, but it is really only a post or two a
week at best.

I'm afraid the S/N ratio on Myford is a little poor at present - I tend to lurk
there in the hope of discovering knowledge from time to time. Yes, it does
happen, you just have to be patient. However John, for a person of your much
more detailed level of knowledge I'd think you would not be learning much there,
more teaching us less ignorant 'self taught' engineers. I value your
contributions to the group highly.

Was the answer clearance and tap drill sizes?

John,
No - it is not Myford owners in general. Amongst other machines I have a
Myford - and I find it beyond absurd. It is plain ridiculous!

The problem I believe is that some people who frequent these groups have
got little else to do. The computer is on, their e.mail is read and they
have to occupy their minds.

The thing I find strange is why people respond to "polls" anyway?

Who gives a rats?

You could have broken that to me gently........

I've always thought of Myfords that way!
