Can we let really old topics just rest?  This endless debate quickly causes such emotions of what type of material is better.  I wonder how long before we restart the DC vs. DCC debate.  Ugh!

 

Yes

That's what newbies do.  At least he had a valid question, rather than telling anonymous what he should use 7 years later. 

We have bigger problems than old threads, what about the length of your grocery receipts?

OMG!  Surprise  This is terrible!  Just when I had my day planned!  Indifferent

I did buy a package of assorted stainless steel "straws", they just looked so cool!

Henry's right.  People searching for mrr information, usually find many threads from c.s.tains in the list, so they click on them, and here they end up.  I'm sure the last thing they think of, is "OMG that is a really old topic or thread", if they even look at the date at all, which I'm sure most don't.

I used to think it was really dumb, but after a couple of smart comments I made, mocking the OP on an old thread, I got my hands slapped by you-know-who.

Now I just see it as a way for them to find this, and many other forums, with their questions.

Look how many have popped up in the last few months.  Shows people are out there looking, and searching.

Receipts:

.

My receipt for my rental car for the last two weeks was 3 inches long and was for $610.00 total.

.

My receipt for a screwdriver at Northern Tools was 24 inches long and was for $3.00 total.

.

What gives?

.

I have only used Homasote once, and I am having good results with it. Foam has worked well for many projects in the past.
