Engine running again, the good, bad and ugly

Nothing so deep. I'm just helping you make a fool of yourself, for
complaining about SOP in this group.

See ya! Over and out'a here. ;-)

I'll be darned, wonder how they got there because I didn't post them.

Nope. I'm not complaining about it - I'm pointing out how ridiculous it
was for *you* to start netkopping way back in this thread. Thanks for
playing...

Ooops, your bad. Read back. I commented about a netcop practice AFTER
someone else brought it up. Anything else I can help you with?

No, it's just netiquette. It's no different to holding a door open for
the person following instead of letting it slam in their face. Or saying
'thank you' instead of nothing at all when you get served at a shop.

Sometimes if I'm hanging around at an (airline) airport, I'll read
Usenet on my laptop over a GPRS (mobile phone) link. You pay per
kilobyte. An untrimmed top posted comment with 30 or 40K worth of
untrimmed comments with a 'Me too' response can get irritating.

I didn't say you were the first, just that you began doing it yourself,
while practicing equally egregious behavior yourself. And you described
it with approval, adding your own condemnation and ditto of his remarks,
marking you a netkopp. You wrote:

Two things come to mind. For those whom dial up is the only option, 9k for
a "me too" is a serious *time* waster, and a pain in the arse. The other is
that it shows a true laziness of the responder, and strikes me as though the
responder thinks his time (of not taking the time to trim) is more important
than your time. (the reader, trying to scroll down through a post, and see
if there is anything else new, through all the lines of repeated posting)

At any rate, it is rude, IMHO, and *should* occasionally be pointed out to
the worst offenders.

Just giving you your own medicine...

Anything else I can help you with?

Not very likely, given your lack of success so far.

OK, I will give myself 13 lashes with a wet noodle, an promise to consider
not posting OT posts, or to netcop anymore. Note that I said "consider."

That is the best that I can do, right now. g

By the way, I did enjoy Corky's post on running his engine.

Corky, If you are still with us, have you considered putting your engine on
a johnboat, and making an airboat out of it? Of course it would help if you
had large bodies of water nearby. I see it as a way to test run the heck
out of it, and have fun doing it. The wave action could give you a real
chance to test the redrive's toughness.

Still here. I was talking with Tom McNeilly who designed and
fabricates his leaning block in Arizona. He was telling me that he
rigged his engine up on some kind of rolling chassis he had, or found.
It had brakes and was steerable. He'd ride the thing around his yard.
His kids thought it was great fun and actually drove it back and forth
along the road in front of his house.

I just want to test the engine. I think I've wasted, er, spent plenty
enough time already just getting to the point where I can run it on
the test stand. ;-)

My wife is in favor of me putting effective mufflers on it so that I
don't have to haul it into the woods, I can just drag it outside the
shop and run it there.

One Ford STOL builder did use mufflers on his airplane and it sure
impressed his wife. Her remark was "how about that, a quiet float
plane!"

Glad to hear you're running again. It is kind of fun testing. I
installed an exhaust gas temp. gauge this week. One gauge, one probe
and six cylinders so it will be a little slow. I am looking forward to
testing Bruce Frank's idea of the "golf ball diverter".
