    Society has become ultra dependent on the internet.

    Yes, but think how long it would be before you got better at taking pictures if we had to rely on printed film and snail mail… easier to just give you grief here, right?! Oh, at least your spelling would be more accurate in a handwritten piece… hard to fat finger a Bic!

    Definitely sickening. Years ago at the dealership, when the Internet would go down, you might was well went home for the day. Parts department couldn't look up parts. Service department didn't know how to write repair orders. Didn't even have ingoing/ outgoing phone calls cause the phones were Internet based. :hair:

    Sadly that's how it is. Alot of wood forum engagement has gone to Facebook and other platforms. We have a core group of good people here and this place seems to matter to them, we're doing what we can. Forums aren't as popular anymore. I'd venture to say 90-95% of those "guests" are bots.
