What's up at welding web?

[California]

I saw a little of that and feared receiving some, as an occasional amateur weldor asking dumb-beginner questions.

Even 10 years ago when I added a HF-90 alongside the '60's stick welder then posted wondering why the HF unit didn't weld nearly as well. (Turns out I got one from that batch with the really bad flux wire, the model where a wholesaler who bought hundreds of customer returns flooded Ebay for a few months).

But every sincere reply I ever got from the regulars, then and as I have asked slightly more advanced questions, has been friendly and helpful. Similar to apprenticing alongside a helpful journeyman.

They mostly dump their competitiveness on one another.

That's pretty much the way I felt about WW. There was one member there that most everyone LOVED to HATE. A real smart (surprisingly compassionate) fellow. I had several intelligent PM's with him before he was eventually permanently banned.

I took a different approach to Welding Web. I tell everybody I've only been welding for a few weeks. That way no one picks on me!

Yeah, there were a few BS'ers there too.

Not me... SA got me pointed in the right direction when he graciously offered to tutor me a little when I was getting started and I might need another lesson or three.


But you guys please go ahead. I will enjoy it. :laughing:
