    Yes I was joking. Each site has it's good points. One, a little more hard core technical and one, a bit more casual and laid back.

    I was tossed from another site, but probably not for the reasons you may assume. Long story short, it was time to move on to greener pastures anyway. In hindsight, I miss many members and even some of the mods from that place. But sometimes bias and judgment (FROM BOTH sides of an argument) can leave a permanent sour taste in one's mouth.....

    I'll say this much, you guys and gals all prove how nice a place can be when we try our best to leave the bias and politics out.....

    Yes, good idea. start a strictly technical section. I know I would have gladly paid tuition for all I learned over there. Glad I found it when I got started heating with wood. Forums are the best source of real life info on the web. For example, if I am planning to make a purchase, I won't trust the ratings on the manufacturers website or Amazon, I go to the forums for real life experiences and reviews.

    I have booted a forum but never been booted from a forum.

    Life gets busy and I don't have enough time for the people that matter the most. I sure as hell don't have the time to invest in dealing with keyboard commandos

    My mindset is this, I would hangout in person with anyone on this forum. That's why I'm here.

    You mean straight up fireplace? I did that for many years, and stopped just over a week ago with that wasting of wood heat craziness.

    Sure I was kicked off the other site, no warning (their rules say otherwise), they dont like questioning what the mods say, I guess they have what they want what ever that is.:wacky:
    I saved the emails they sent just in case.

    Not a sweep, but I've swep my chimney and my parent's quite a few times over the years.

    My dad was a statute making part of the NFPA. ;)

    Nice, I sweep mine and my inlaws.

    I started my own contracting business a year and a half ago. Until then I was a lead inspector of fire alarm systems for SimplexGrinnell. I like to think that NFPA 72 is my beotch.
