    It matters not how good a welder you are but rather how good a grinder.

    True, if all that matters to you is appearances.:eek:

    Good point, and I should have elucidated a bit more . . .

    Sloppy welding mistakes can be fixed by grinding just as sloppy writing mistakes can be fixed by editing. My writing is contained mostly to my opinion and is akin to an ornamental welder which makes fancy crap to hang on a wall or put on display and thus appearances are most important. But if I were a master welder, analogous to a novelist, at a nuke plant welding up cooling pipes the strength of the weld, and the appearance, for ease of inspection purposes is critical! As is content combined with appearances (correct grammar and spelling) to the purveyor of the written word.

    Did that make sense? :noidea: OK, OK I'll stick to blogging my opinions.

    I think you're trying to say that the pen is mightier than the welding torch! :D

    If you had, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to make my snarky comment. Where's the fun in that?:D
