I just fail to see the purpose of writing something of importance, and
then be afraid to have them published "while alive."
What will be accomplished when yer dead?
And stop top posting.

I built my own deck(s) and ran the decking lumber on the bias at 45 degrees
on one level and the opposite on the other level. It was once commented by
a neighbor. "You wasted a lot of lumber doing it that way." To which I
responded. "It's MY deck!!!"
SO if the man doesn't want to publish until he is dead, then so be it.
Everybody has a right to their do what they do. Remember you can be sued if
your dead.
Hope ya'll have a nice ride to where ever it may be.

People make off topic comments all the time.
