Wait a tic - did you mean advice about your injury or just advice in general? ---

Depends. Did it fall on the chain or the motor housing? If it fell on the chain you’ll probably need to replace that and the chain guide. If it fell on the housing and it still seems to run OK then I wouldn’t worry. ---

YOG, you sound like the kind of person who is always right but sometimes makes mistakes. Suggesting that you were right even though your post was wrong seems like trolling, to me. ---

I didn’t think it’d take this long for \*\*Yog \*\*to be pitted. Every time I open a thread where somebody discusses a problem, I wait for Yog to contribute his trademark tasteless turd comment. PLOP! There it is. Now we can move on… ---

Maybe because it ate a bunch of souls from stupid people. I will assume we are talking about Lovecraft, not having read the thread, because I like to post things. ---

As regards the root question; “YogSothoth, how’d you get so fucking stupid?” Maybe it’s the result of brain damage suffered during a procedure performed by an unlicensed and misinformed practitioner. ---

PLOP! There it is. Now we can move on… It didn’t take this long.
