 Civility is nice, Jim, but you've missed my point.  We used to discuss the
 acquisition and USE of hand tools.  Now we're talking about whether one
 should like (or not) furniture of one maker, whether plywood is good, etc.
 Possibly the mandate of the list has changed; maybe not.  In any case, at
 the moment, it's stated goal is:

 "The purpose of this list is to provide an entertaining,
 not-quite-moderated, light-hearted, fun, jolly, happy, informative forum to
 discuss the history, usage, value, location, availability, collectibility,
 and restoration of traditional woodworking tools." -

 I fail to see how the virtues of plywood fit into this mandate.  More
 importantly, I see little, currently, in the list that relates to that
 stated purpose.  It's this second thing that is most bothersome, not the
 occasional jaunt outside the bounds.
