Do suppliers ACTUALLY read their own web sites

Indeed Carl.
Passing on that knowledge is part of the pleasure ( for me)..the other part is learning new stuff.
I care about communicating accurately ( enough ) so spelling incorrectly a word , to me , matters less than the spell checkers incorrect choice of correctly spelt but wrong word…
The minute attention to detail is part of SOME peoples enjoyment of this hobby…

Enjoy

Hi Jason,

I agree wholeheartedly that minute attention to detail and getting things "just right" is a large part of  the pleasure to be derived from any sort of model making.

I wasn't attempting to denigrate this, rather I was commenting on those who sieze on what are often simple errors and then kick the backside out of them for the next 20 postings, rather than discussing the actual topic or question that was the real subject of the post. This happens here, HMEM, Model Engine Machinist…you name the forum. And you all know what I'm talking about here.

I also like to see correct spelling and punctuation (even if I don't always get it right myself!) My own personal bugbear are Americanisms in the English Language…but I wouldn't let this get in the way of a meaningful discussion.

In the words of Leonardo da Vinci:-

"Good literature proceeds from men of natural probity, and since one ought rather to praise the inception than the result, you should give greater praise to a man of probity unskilled in letters than to one skilled in letters but devoid of probity."

Yes. Those who would seek to see model engineering as a closed world into which newcomers are not permitted. Without realising that is precisely these newcomers who assure the future continuation of their chosen pastime.

What was the original thread again?

I had to look up probity, should it have been included?
