All the awesome people on here willing to give a hand where they can
Its not often I PM anyone on here, and I feel bad that the odd time I do its to ask for advice on something rather than for just a bit of friendly chit chat.
I had to send the Doc a message the other day, because much to my embarrassment, after hours of trying, I simply could get a weld to work. I'd been tearing my hair out trying to work out why it was cracking and carrying on. The first time I welded something, I was 6 years old (I remember, because I took it to school for show and tell
), I'm no welding genius, but after years of experience I don't normally struggle either. So it was great to know that even though I don't normally talk to the doc much I could just drop him a message and he steered me in the right direction with just 6 lines of info.
Big thanks to you Kevin, you're a champion
I haven't messaged him in a while, but even TheMiniMan. There has been a few times over the years I've dropped him a message out of the blue to ask him about something. And again, a total stranger, ready to sit down for what would probably be a while (because if you've seen Matt's posts, he doesn't know how to keep ANYTHING breif
) and write out a detailed explaination.... (and I'm sorry I didn't manage to drop through and say hi when I was up in Morningside a few months ago, time just got away, but I might bump into you at Byron over Christmas).
These are just a couple of people who've given me a hand on here, and I just wanted to express my gratitude for the time they've taken to offer their advice.
Cheers Guys, you're the sort of people that make forums worthwhile
