That's because the Giants have won their games and are in the superbowl.

As opposed to the solitary "tommy-is-right" thread ?

I may go about things in an somewhat arrogant and opinionated way, but in the end you do see I was right a lot of the time. It's not a way to get people to like you, but it is still true.

I can find an exception in any thing anyone says.

I have four original CP's here and none of them use carriage bolts.

Well, that's conclusive. I have had 5 that had bolts. That's not anymore conclusive.

I wrote it to show that the earlier example is far more than a simple exception, as you described it.

The difficulty here is that there are no more new machines fresh from the manufacturers to study.  But one could say that it is far more likely that an operator would have installed them into a machine as a repair rather than removed them from a machine that came with them installed from the factory.

So many machines have been converted and repaired (several times over) that this debate is unlikely to to find a conclusive answer.  So you have to go with what makes sense (or what you like looking at.)

Chaps I don't want to butt in to your obvious enjoyment of ragging on each other here and as you well know I can be as opinionated as anybody else on here..... BUT!

DOES IT REALLY MATTER!!!!

If this was something life threateningly important then I could well appreciate the argument. But you guys are arguing over whether carriage bolts should be visible or not!!!! Come On!!!! Anybody would think that world would come to an end if you did or didn't show bolts on your CP's

I dispair!! I really do....  :dunno

As Randy Said, If you like em, put em on there..... If you don't like em, don't put em on there.

The world will still be turning tomorrow either way.
