This is a community whose basis is the exchange of information among the CMM using community leading to the advancement of this vocation across all vendors' platforms.

Starting a thread under the For Sale conference merely to throw stones at B&S stock prices is useless to this community, is off topic, and no one (at The CMM Forum) cares what B&S stock is doing - there are other sites available to waste time on subjects of this sort, but I'm sure you've been there as well.

"I have never threatened anyone..."

In reality, you have threatened twice recently in your banter with Patrick McSwain and Jim Jewell under the Mitutoyo conference in the thread titled "Touched in the head" where you state in one message:

"I'll make you a deal, mind your own business and I'll leave you alone."

and in another:

"P.s. The kind of slanderous comments you've been saying about other people's products had better stop. Just do not open your mouth when you don't know the answer, and we'll get along fine."

Rather than forcing you to "pop up as a more legitimate sounding person" (wherein you obviously realize how you sound now..), I hope you assume a civil tone and contribute based on your expertise.

"The only drawback is that you won't be able to identify me" You have erroneously counted on that to date - you were wrong. I can identify you.
