Gerald,

Just now I ended up reading this treath.

At first you made me concerned because I did get the impression you're a litle bit 'fed up'. Experienced in teaching people I know that it gives all sorts of people. The ones you're concerned about don't excists for me anymore. Giving them energy is lost energy therefore of no use.

Reading further me concernes disappeared, due to all the thumbs up words off the MM community. For what it's worth, I am a newby, reading and learning al this wonderfull stuff. I am impressed with regards to the knowledge of you and all the contributing members off the MM-community. It is a special feeling to see how many of all this people are willing to share the knowledge they have and therefore made the build off my own big bleu possible. Still lurking this site for information I'am confinced that this project will be realised within the next 9 months. Like that, it's concieving a big bleu baby. Rest asure you're the Godfather off this community and I hope you will be for many years to come. I promisse to keep this community fully informed as I will start the build and during the proces of the build.

Just my 2c for what it's worth.

Welcome and good luck on your build when you start.

Gerald has dedicated this site to building MechMates and helping the builders. There are other sites for those that want to build some thing else.

Polder, I thing that G's main part of being fed up is people not following the rules they agreed to when they joined the forum.

I know some think rules apply, just not to them. I have one kid that seems to be that way. Even with kids, it is no excuse to not follow rules you agreed to, whether you bothered to read the rules or not.

goals are the same

My goal is to have every thread that is ever displayed on an index thread here, to be good reading for someone building a MechMate.

Thanks Gerald. I was going to start with a mechmate myself but was overwhelmed. If I ever get this bugger finished and running, then ill have some good advice to give.(or maybe not!! Grin) My next one will be your machine as this one , i dont think will be heavy enough for me. Keep it going and this is a great site for info.
