Send it to "Bob"

He has a quote in his name, so when the system puts it's quotes in it becomes "Bob""Herbie" and the system thinks you're sending to "Bob" and "Herbie" and since there is no "Herbie" it says... member "Herbie" not found (BTW Bob usually gets the PM as the one to "Bob" goes to him)

And the only reason I'm telling you all this is so I don't have to explain it to Bob which is what I keep forgetting to do 3#blab#

So, if Bob wants to make it easier on all of us (as far as PMs go) he can change the way his name appears to "Bob (Herbie)", no quotes,
and the system won't be confused anymore

Post by: Baha (Shawn) on January 25, 2011, 08:51:40 pm: Me personally... I would stitch it the sanme way Pete does. one dot at a time until its complete.

Mark would put it on with 450 self drilling screws, grind the heads off and weld it and you'd never know.
I'd love to be the Fastenal rep in Sweetwater

#@rofl3 actually l only use Home Depot stock #8x1/2 I know my method may be a little strange but it works & I enjoy doing it that way. The Ratical has over 500 such screws at this point. Oh & the heads are ground off after welding. -eyescan.= But then again I leave many unground on purpose. Have tried cleco's & pop rivets screws work better
