Andy, you keep replying to the NG while at the same time changing the
"subject" header and NOT attaching the previous post.  So we don't
know what the hell you're talking about.  

P.S.  Do you have a web page where you list the stuff you have for
sale?  It sounds like you have some things I could use.

Can't see the point either but it begs another question loosely related.

Why are there hundreds of company names in the LA Times classifieds. If
you read through it they list the names of companies then some ads then
more company names and more ads. What for? Do these companies pay?

Peter
Still curious.

What's the point of this list?  I do not get the connection to rec.crafts.metalworking

Although, some of these companies use metal in some of their products, but that woudl be 
too easy.

And up until last Friday evening there was a Rockwell
International (Prime source of space ship aluminum here Jim
- also space ship Titianiam, and copious amounts of
uNobtaiNiuM from time to time also) built Space Shuttles,
Apollo Rocket Motors, etc.  amoung other things.  I worked
for them for 27.45 years.

As of this Monday there is a Boeing North American (aka
BNA).  Boeing bought all the space and aerospace parts of
what used to be Rockwell International.  I've worked for
them for 4 days now.  There is also a Boeing - BNA's parent
company.  

Fitch
Who likes the name Boeing North American and is glad to be
back working for a company that *wants* to build space
ships, space stations, and planes, and things like that that
Fitch likes to help design ....

If memory serves, newspapers offer substantial discounts to companies that
agree to continuously advertise.  It is worth the discount to just pay for
an ad that says "xyz company" until you have something better to say.  Sort
of like the "REAL WORLD (tm)" equivalent to a usenet "me too" message.

An interesting thought maybe that's it.
