   Sounds like someone should write a "BT FAQ"

   Chapter One: Profiles

   Chapter Two: Piffinscrews

   Chapter Three: Housewrap, Speed Squares, LH vs RH Circ Saws and Things That Go Bump In The Night

   Chapter Four: "pol" threads

   Chapter Five: Is it a gadget or is it a tool? (PaulB contributing editor)

   What else???

   He filled out the location in his profile without being asked to.

   Hey, Rez, I've got a new cause for you to champion.  Get folks to quote (copy-paste) what they are replying to (kinda like I did above).

   Nothing worse than getting a 200-post long thread with 15 conversations going on and you read the new messages and have NO idea what they're talking about...unless you scroll back up 20 messages to re-read the message they replied to.

   Sorry, I could care less about profiles, but I hate having to scroll up to get up to speed on a conversation.

   JohnT8, all you have to do it hit the number after the words "in reply to". Keep hitting that number till everything makes sense.

   That works, but quoting is still more reader friendly.  No clicking forwards and backwards to track down the conversation.jt8

   Welcome to the forum brother and welcome to the joys of owning your own business.  You'll soon find that you are totally addicted to this joint and can't make a decent business decision without consulting this slew of knuckleheads for feedback.  Maybe it's just me... dunno.

   Anyway, what's your favorite choice of fastener for installing cabinets?

   Tyvek or tarpaper?

   You a wormdrive guy or a sidewinder?

   sheath your walls before or after standing 'em?

   Hey... we gotta know where you stand and all.  ;)

   "Anyway, what's your favorite choice of fastener for installing cabinets?"

   Molly bolt works well for me.

   "Tyvek or tarpaper?"

   Tyvek. Better price.

   "You a wormdrive guy or a sidewinder?"

   Sidewinder

   "sheath your walls before or after standing 'em?"

   After.
