Gentle Galoots,

Since Bill trolled out a few of you, I figure it is my turn.  I will give
free stuff to the next two people submitting bios after this message
appears.  Good luck and keep those bios coming!

                Bill's excellent instructions!
                Seems like many of them start out like this.  Call me dense,
                but I'm just wondering:  How much trouble is it really?
It's
                not like we're running a literary critique here or anything.
                I often respond to bios personally when something in them
                catches my eye, and I'm sure others on the porch do as well.

                Maybe some feel they have no old tool stuff to say.  That's
                ok.  The bio isn't about tools, it's about you.  Surely
                there's something about you that we might be interested in.

                Even if it's something like, "I like ice cream, so I bought
                an old ice cream maker at the flea market and fixed it up.
                While I was there, I noticed all these old saws, and
                remembered seeing this group mentioned on the rec.the.wood
                group.  So I started listening and decided old saws were
                cool.  But not as cool as ice cream."

                So go ahead.  Have some fun and post it.  You'll be
surprised
                how good you feel.  Really.

                The Rules!
                How's that?  No repeats.  Just new folks.  If your bio is
                one of the next 5 I see show up, and I verify that it's a
                new one, I'll contact you for mailing info.  Can't beat
                that.
