Welding Engineer;
" I cannot freely answer emails at a drop of a hat."
I never had the expectation that you would answer a email at the drop of a hat. In fact i waited for days. But that is ok i will never ask for assistance from you again.
"I do have a life beyond the net ... Wife, Children, Family, Job (I work for someone else), My company (a start-up Firm), College class that I teach, Civil organization ...."
I have a life beyond the net as well. I have a wife, a child and family and work as well. That is the real world i live in.
"I suggest that you repost your questions on these forums for the benefit of all. You will get more and better opinions. These forums work if the questions and answers are kept available for the benefit of all."
I don't need a lecture from you Welding Engineer about the forum. I am well acquainted with this forum. In fact i have posted 399 posts to your 16 posts.
Have a nice day.
