Just use a hack saw with a metal blade, or you can use a Dremel, (Rotarty tool\> With a carbide disk, That’s a hell of lot cheaper than the saw, but not as fun. ---

Stachybotrus isn’t toxic. It ain’t good for you, but unless you are licking it up and snorting it through a straw, you shouldn’t have any symptoms more severe than an allergy reaction or flu-like symptoms. You should be wearing a dust mask, however. ---

> [@](#): > > **I thought one of the best features of this board was that members are encouraged to be themselves (or get called on it) and are accountable for what they say. Have I got it wrong?** Since you prefer ‘it’ to ‘get called on’… signed, M. “Waverly” location: “where the shadows lie” occupation from profile: “feckless rogue” other info from profile: nothing else but an ICQ number. In summary: a [feckless](http://www.onelook.com/?w=feckless&ls=a) rogue in the shadows known only as “Waverly.” Yes, I can see how you’d be leading the charge for upfront accountability. ## Peace. I thought one of the best features of this board was the unintentional irony of the members. Hey, it’s an irony board! ---

Are you supposed to be making a point here? Are you offended by the vague reference to The Man From UNCLE? Confused by an allusion to LoTR? I stated, and I’ll quote it for you, “members are encouraged to be themselves.” This means that most members are honest about their background and experiences, not that anyone should be expressly required to post identifying information - clearly there are too many idiots about for this to be a wise idea. In other words there is nothing wrong with having a board persona, but the persona should be on honest reflection of the real individual. You’ll have to excuse me if I think grabbing a new persona off the rack is far too much like being allowed to have a sock puppet. I also stated, “[members] are accountable for what they say.” Which means that after several hundred, or more, posts a member shouldn’t have their history wiped clean. Any lasting impression they have made on other members shouldn’t be expunged. I distinctly remember having a conversation with one notorious member of the One Trick Pony Society whom I had determined I’d not waste any further time on when she reappeared with a new, officially granted, name. I didn’t like that feeling. If you really had an interest in me, you would know that I’m a Materials Scientist working as a Marketing Director in the NYC area, although I travel well over 50% of the time. Unfortunately, you are a drooling idiot, so I’m unlikely to respond if you were to request more information through my email address. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem. At this point, I apologize to jujuju for the hijack and for appearing to get on her case much more than I originally intended in an effort to make one insufferable fool understand what I am talking about. I’m sure jujuju was given permission for the name change, and she hasn’t done anything against the rules. ---
