This really gets my goat

Rudy just last week I was using a scissors type plastic knife cutter on a piece of 2" pvc and nicked the end of my thumb (thought it was an early senior clumsy moment) Later that day I was using the same cutter and due to an alignment problem I put pressure on the back side of the blade with that same thumb and once agin slipped and really cut my thumb. With shame on me once and shame on you twice on my mind I discovered that the cutter was purchased at HD with absolutely no markngs other than a millimeter size stamp. No country of origin,no manufacturer and no safety warnings on the package or tool.

Needless to say I am getting po'd and about ready to take this tool back to HD and shove it somewhere where the sun does not shine. Problem is I did not purchase it, I recieved it as a gift from a friend I helped in Texas while I was down there helping her project manage her conversion of a mansion into a bed and breakfast.

I was ok with this until I read your cloning thread and now I am a little pissed again. I will send something off to these pirates and see if I can rattle them.

    This really gets my goat

    Just ran across this, a company has copied my combustion information, word for word, without any mention of the source, just gets my goat.

    Would you be aggravated about this:

    Here's my stuff:

    http://www.bacharach-training.com/Combustion Zone/Comb/combustion.htm

    This company is 'off shore', just to mess with them, would a couple of you guys email them and/or their vendors and complain?

    I'd sure appreciate it!!

    I will

    I can understand. Your info is fantastic. I have referred to it many times. But that still doesn't make it right.

    IS Bacharach available in South Africa? If so I'd think there must be some way to bring pressure locally.

    Rudy,

    write a note to the company that's hosting the site and let them know what's going on. Include proof. I was successful with that with a similar situation recently.
    Retired and loving it.

    Rudy, it looks like we're all off shore on the Internet. I sent them a brief note. Please don't stop adding to your site because of this incident. Your page has been one of the most useful sites starting way back when it was Flamehead.
