Rant Thread List - links to informational tirades

[hwcglass]

There are a lot of very good rant threads on the MP, informational tirades of high quality that discuss important, interesting and humorous subjects related to the business of glass.

A lot of things get said over and over again and information and opinions get lost.

I am starting and will maintain a rant thread link list, grouped by subject.

Please, if you know of a good rant, post a link and purported category of subject and I will add it to the list.

I think this could be a good and useful reference thread; I will rep those who provide good links.

Long live the coffee and smoke educed passion rant.

[hwcglass]

so . . . is there a reason my edit post option in this thread is gone?

[Pogo]

Was just fixin to mention that to ya... It's due to shit talkers tryin' to erase what they've said a day or so ago... keeps longevity in threads honest, and inadvertently makes threads with updated first posts unobtainable without mod status.

[NUBBLET]

add down here have mod edit first post

[hwcglass]

often I try to be inventive but only prove myself uninformed.


add down here have mod edit first post

seems like that shouldn't be part of their job descriptions. too much to ask.

[Pogo]

constant updating through the thread by non-mods is usually done as follows:
1. quote your most recent update
2. remove the "quote" tags and other non-list text (your personal comments from last post)
3. Add new shit

then you have an ongoing update, and your last post would be an accurate portrayal of the list you're tryin to make.

if you wish to continue this thread, which is a great idea, look through the pendant\pipe\jar exchange\swap threads to see what I mean.

Pogo, thanks for the tip. Hobby continues.



Question: Cool or uncool to link companies/people taking/giving vast quantities of hate?

[Mac Maestro]

Pogo was right - That was easy to edit.

[Mac Maestro]

But you forgot possibly the most crucial informative post of all time:

NILE!!!!!!!! The new revolution in color???? (http://www.talkglass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19333&highlight=Nile)
And the GlassFairy rants were priceless - Just looked, those are all in the forum's trash bin.

How about "How do you make a G a day on prodo?" the quest continues ... (in how many pipes a day do you make) :puzzled:
