That’s an excellent idea at this juncture Jim.

In fact, today I made a decision. I don’t want to be here any longer either. It’s a dying forum, and Bosch just doesn’t care anyways, it’s p…[Read more]

That grossly mis-characterizes what was actually said, which was, verbatim: “I was about to post this response in the Tool Tweaks thread, but decided…

Let’s lay it on the line.

You know what’s really disheartening in all this. A thread intended to enlist ideas from members to BETTER the forum has depraved into this totally unnecessary turmoil completely sidetracking what is the real purpose here.

What has really transpired got my brain going considering the REAL context of this thread.…[Read more]

Post the PM CB sent you or is it just too harsh,,,

Let him do that.

Sorry DWB, but I’ve been largely ignoring your attempts at escalating this thread further with your posts. Chillax man!

Not my intent at all. But he just kept on repeatedly posting after I deleted them and had sent PMs not to do so repeatedly. Once I hadn’t been online for a while and his reposts were viewed and replied to many and…[Read more]

I kind of know how it works though. My Amazon account was hacked by Russian folks. In this case their mission was to bombard Amazon with positive reviews of certain products. Each time I got a notification from Amazon thanking me for my review. Literally they p…

Let’s not @CB.

I sent you a PM asking a simple question. Please reply to it.

Just blocked my first Chinese spammer. Worked like a charm. They had just become member in the past hour and they were up to 20-30 or so posts when I happen to notice it.

Goodbye hydvpm82341! Yo’ Mama! Hehehe!

Now watch him/her come right back and try it again. That’s what they seem to like to do. Tag me if I don’t catch it myself. I’ve…[Read more]

I can’t say I’m upset about getting on their 18V in a similar committment since a year and a half ago. I have a mix of dual 18V and singular 18V tools that I also bought that makes it worthwhile. The range of 40V will…[Read more]
