The Questions Will Be Answered Soon..

Giant Tech Guy has offered to put his machines up for the beatings that Alex and Simon have failed to do...

They are all the same but diffrent because of paint and decals..

The beatings will be Sept 6'Th at my tig class..
And I am happy to host the challenge finally..

Tozzi will do the honors..
Death to a machine will result...
This will be good.

Results will be posted on micro's site.

...zap!

Re: The Questions Will Be Answered Soon..

Not that I care or anything......BUT.............The question still stands.....why post it here if you aren't going to follow through here?


Myself, I plan on sticking with the tried and true Blue machines for my needs. I have zero interest in the el cheapo machines.

You have every interest in cheapo machines just like everyone else here...
Stop kidding yourself because once the results are posted yourself and half the welding world will be interested..

Why not post the results here?..
Figure it out.


Bottom line is that the results will happen because of Myself and Tozzi...

Nobody here did squat to finally get this done.

We will.....

Re: The Questions Will Be Answered Soon..

As always, you presume way too much. I have no interest in cheap machines that will not last. That is why my efforts are being steered towards a Synch 250 at the moment...not an el cheapo, no matter how good or how cheap.


So, you are posting this here just to cause trouble, huh? Well, at least you admitted it this time.

Not so much as to cause trouble...
But to let everyone know that the test/challenge will happen finally...


I am on a new team...TRUE...and just concider this post a "Away Game"...

Well, it looks like you are ready for Slag Pit membership and status. And to think, you criticized us time and again and here you go and do the same thing. Tsk, tsk tsk. At least Slaggers are contributing now.

Thanks zap I'll be looking. I just don't think they can hang.

This place sure is beginning to remind me of the Miller board.

Re: The Questions Will Be Answered Soon..

Just because some here aren't interested in the trials, their results or who finally got it to happen doesn't mean that everyone here isn't. I have all the equipment I need but still would like to know if the imports are willing to try to prove their claims, and want to see what happens if the machines fail. I give Zap credit for pursuing the idea too; nobody here including those who bitched the most about the imports seem to have done anything to prove things one way or the other.

For those who aren't interested, why take the trouble to say you aren't or ask why he posted here? Your posting a reply implies far more that you have a political agenda than Zap's original post which you didn't have to read if you don't like him or his ways.

Zap, I like you, but this is nonsense, and you know it. You just bought yourself 10 days in the hole. Next time you come here and start SH*&T it will be the LAST. We were charged with changing the entire way we do our moderating, much in part to help buy you some breathing room. You are drowning yourself, and with an attitude like this, I'll gladly put my thumb on the top of your snorkel if that is what it takes. For anyone else who can read,


ZERO TOLERANCE.

Re: The Questions Will Be Answered Soon..

Hmmm....lessee how this went down. Zappy comes here to admittedly stir the pot and gets his pee-pee whacked for his efforts....and it seems that I am to blame??? Give me a freaking break. The very fact that zappy comes here to post about the contest, but wouldn't post results here showed what he was up to off the bat. So how is it my fault or I had a political agenda for merely lifting the veil on his attempt at rubbing everyone's noses in it?? He started it with post #1...not me. I just have a finely tuned BS filter that shows him up for what he really is. Bash me all you want here and on micro's site....I don't care. Just get it right, ok? I call them just like they are and don't pull punches. If you don't like it...use the ignore button.



I wonder if Orkin can spray for blue guys????

Re: The Questions Will Be Answered Soon..

I guess Tozzi will have to do the welding/testing, since the Zapster will still be recovering from spraining his shoulder, patting himself on the back.

Frankly, I could give a rat's lower posterior, about a Chinese POS. If I want to see smoke, I'll just go out in the yard and light off an old Detroit diesel.

That was a gutsy call.

I commend you for your action.

DDA52,

You and I don't know each other from Adam so if you say "shove it" I'll respect that, your experience and knowledge and do so but from where I am I don't see where you were being blamed for anything. Rojodiablo was very specific in his admonishment of the OP and I personally don't see his zero tolerance comment being directed at anyone other than all of us that "can read". Being as specific as he was in addressing the OP why wouldn't he have been with you or anyone else that posted if that's what he meant it to mean.

I have no argument with your insight into the situation and also have none with the action taken by Rojodiablo and thankful for it being as swift as it was.

Re: The Questions Will Be Answered Soon..

Well, my "tirade" was directed at some comments that have been made on both sites. I am not on Micro's site, so it wasn't posted there. Myself, I don't care. I just hate seeing whining that always happens when someone has the audacity to put zappy in his place. He got what he deserved, IMO. Blue guys never see it that way and will rally around zappy no matter what he does. Dog pees on the floor, he gets whacked with the newspaper. zappy gets no less when he does it.


here is what we mean by blue guys
