Re: The First No Bull**** Blog Devoted To Telling The Truth About

Actually Cliff, I'm an AE for a Machine Tool Dealer in SoCal and
believe it or not, Jon was actually one of my customers for about a
month or so (perhaps longer - not sure when he actually started where
he was at). Didn't end up staying too long after we had spoken a few
times on the phone for whatever reason. Had some good intelligent
questions for a change. I was able to provide some useful information
to him. He uncovered a bug in Fanuc's Manual Guide-i that I was
unaware of (but that the builder in question was aware of) Regardless
of my personal feelings towards him and his opinions, I treated him
like I treat every other customer; with class, respect, dignity and
"go the extra mile".

"Latest really good one was a few days ago ... he wanted MasterCAM to
automatically "link"/select the active WCS to  whatever > view he was
looking at."

YIKES!!!!! I'm SOOOOOO glad CNC does not listen to him! That could be
catastrophic.

"I gathered that only two had been banned there over all of time.
Perhaps oth jb?"

IIRC, there have been 5 or 6 bans total.. JB 2x, Kuei (sp?) 2x, and
some guys named "mult-ax" (i believe) 2x as well. For over 8 years,
over 380,000 posts, and over 20,300 registered members, that's pretty
remarkable really. It's a testament to the quality of it's member****p
IMHO. Yeah we get a little out of hand on occasion on the Off Topic
area, but by and large, it's a great group of users with a WIDE
variety of skillsets.

"Buzz Word Salad"... WOW!!! Now THAT'S FUNNY!!!!! Can I use that???
ROFL!!!! That's a VERY good observation.
