POSTON,
Your looking right coast, you need to look the other way (and slightly UP, he lives at altitude).  My cousin is actually a neighbor of his, at least by their standards out in Colo.

So what?  :D
I don't think stumpy had a problem and I really don't see your comparision to saying Merry Christmas.
Being a hater doesn't solve anything it just puts off a solution. 
Imagine someone posted that about a job you've done without giving you an opportunity for resolution.
You wouldn't like it either.  No one is perfect eh?

I have thoroughly enjoyed the thread and hope it is left alone. 
I am in the process of evaluating which mill I want to get (WM is definitely on the short list) and the analysis that has been done by the different folks and the comments about maintenance on the electrical components has been invaluable.  The notes by the WM reps and techs have been great as well.  As several have stated WM is not where it is in the industry because of poor workmanship or quality.  Thank you to all for their inputs.

As an admin note, We are not in the habit of removing topics. It rarely happens, other then perhaps right at the first posting, if the content is deemed to cross forum rules for either the content of the topic or the conduct of the poster. Topics may be moved, but they are never deleted. Even if moved from your view, they still exist. Now we may remove a post because of conduct or content, but very rarely the whole topic.

We have a recycle bin, so if a post is made and deleted, we catch it. If a post is altered after a posting grace period to allow edits for mistakes, we maintain the original content on record.  I'm not sure who brought up the idea of this being removed, but if it ever was, it would be at the soul discretion of myself or one of the other admins and in this case, it ain't goona happen.

It's ironic that when the post I emphasised with it. I am still having trouble in that area on my 70.
 However being a Field engineer I get to see different installations and quality and there isn't a company that offers the quality in follow up that Woodmizer has for me.

Thank you for your perspective.  I do not see it as censorship, rather, more about decorum and standards of behavior. 

Anyway, not to argue the point.  Welcome to the Forum.

Welcome, you have to remember that Jeff is not only a admin, but is also the owner. Although I may agree with some of what you said, this is still his house and he has the right to run it, right or wrong, the way he wants. It may be a public forum, but it is not free to operate, so I'm not sure that 100% free speech applies here, and gives 'big brother' the right for a smack-down every now and then. ;)

There is a very good chance some of you were just deceived by a alias register, but not sure quite yet.  Either way, that person did not earn the right to come on this forum with that post and that attitude so they have been removed

Jeff, just wanted you to know that the 'big brother' remark was his wording, not mine.  ;)

I understand.  :)

No one, no where has the right to register to be a fellow member, then come and make a first post that is designed to be negative towards anyone, anywhere. Just will not be allowed. You all deserve better than that.

I just want to say that I had an occasion, recently, to speak with a couple of people, three actually, at another major mill manufacturer and I'm now convinced, more than ever, that the customer service and parts people at Wood-Mizer are, by far, THE BEST.

You know whatever can go wrong will go wrong.  But, murphy seems to hang around my place way to much (and think he sure has lots of cousins too) :D

I will even pay You to hire my "murphy"!  Warning, he will overstay his visit in your shop or farm or woodlot.

He will eventually move on to some neighbor that really needs him......spring is just around the corner (i think)
