The post by Harold? I don't see anything disrespectful about it.
To make this statement, "you're cruising for a bruising. ", to a Veteran is okay?

No one was asking for unbridled political dialogue, just respect where respect is due.

Re: Sirens

TechTony really needs to buy or borrow a book on basic machining practices. Should be able to find something in your local library before you hurt yourself or damage your machine.
