Glen,
Maybe someone was baiting you? Ever think of that? Maybe they are smarter than you think and knew exactly what to start the thread with in order to get you to bite. And bite you did!
Let me play devils advocate for a moment. Let’s say the OP believes he has been a mechanic for 50 years. That would mean he is at least late 60’s to early 70 years old. This is of course under assumption that the OP wasn’t setting up tables at the age of 14. But, who really knows. Only common sense can tell you that probably wasn’t the case. Since this was his first post at 70 years old then again chances are he never read any of the previous threads regarding pocket angles, rail extensions or cushion nose height and the differences between all mentioned. Maybe and just maybe he has been working on tables for 50 years and is just learning about not only this site but, that any of this information even existed. Not much available on the net outside of AZ. Now if this individual is 70 ish then they are from the era where most are computer illiterate. To him a table mechanic is someone that setup a table, leveled it, sealed the seams and recovered it. If that’s the case does that make him or her an idiot? Rather than be nice to them and maybe forwarding the thread link(s) that have already been posted to guide them to the correct information you bash not only the OP but, every response to the thread. Forwarding the link would have much easier than bashing and dragging Mark into your lynch mob.
I don’t know why you find it easier to try and belittle people rather than guide them. You would be better not to respond at all.
