Hi, it's highly unlikly that you will have me answering lots of enquiries here on this forum since I only started some 6 months ago and would not be able to give much advice. I think its more interesting for me to see what other people's opinion is on those requests for help. For generell questions, like whats the best grinder to use, I cannot answer since we here in Europe have different brands. So I keep to quietly reading the posts and maybe learn the one or other thing myself.

: It's recently dawned on me that this board isn't designed for user interaction. Nothing wrong with that but if it's meant to be only an "ask Gary Dodge" question and answer place I will re-evaluate it on that basis because I don't want to intrude on the intention of the moderator by interjecting my experience and ideas in response to the questions.
: It's really a waste of a good forum. Not that Gary isn't an expert with good answers....he definitely is that...but when you ask a question and get only one person's viewpoint and experience it sort of defeats the purpose of forum interaction. I dare you to watch any group of Pro-glassers answer questions. You're lucky to see any 2 in agreement. Glass technique and information is not all black and white. Variation of input is how we learn.
