I've found people on this forum to be more knowledgable than what first appears, so I'd be careful at dismissing information out-of-hand. But, you've been on the forum long enough to know that so I don't understand your comment.

Correct!
You DO NOT understand my comment!
Hey Dude and I play a running gotcha game.

Concrete is like a woman - temperamental, never happy too hot or too cold, cracks under stress, and hurts when hit in the head with it. Oh, and you gotta treat it just right for it to do it's job.

There's a difference between actual knowledge and pasting something found by a google search...:laughing:

prudence and integrity is generally evident when a citation is included rather than allowing anyone reading to think said information came from actual knowledge rather than pasting verbatim text from said google search results...

You also always have to diferentiate facts from lies. Sometimes it's best to see if someone gains anything from such lies.

An old timer concrete guy told me that decades ago. And he knew his "concrete".
