That's an interesting take on this "life imitates life" nym shifter. It would explain the "Always Wrong" moniker though!

I wonder if in real life he's really the angry radicalized sociopathic misfit he appears to be on usenet...

This has been a very useful thread. It has allowed me to quickly identify three posters who don't know what they are talking about, are are adamant in their stupidity, as well as obnoxious & rude. I just started following sci.electronics.repair, and kill-filing them seems to have cut down the noise considerably.

Yawn. As always, it sucks to be dimbulb.

You'll need a lot more than 3 entries top get rid of "Life Imitates Life". He posts under a couple of dozen 'nyms, and is always inventing new ones.

There may be a misunderstanding here. I believe that, in the UK, "vintage" cars are defined as those manufactured between 1918 (?), and 1930. The term is much more widely interpreted in the USA. Even post-WWII cars get called vintage.

Food processing tanks with TWO INCH thick walls? Now EVERYBODY knows that you are an outright liar.

You are ineffectual twit and your own realization of that that frustrates and angers you.

This fuels your presentation as the angry radicalized sociopathic misfit you appear to be on usenet.

You are a cowardly nymshifter who can't face up to who you really are.

This eBay seller has a number of good quality cutters and pliers. I haven't bought from this seller, I just happened to find Hunter pliers here (I'm not this seller).

They list 'electrician's' scissors. Why would an electrician need scissors

- or a special type?

No. Its about f*ck you, I'll write and speak any way I wish, you TOTAL piece of s*it. Now f*ck off, and die, boy!

Scissors seem to be popular, or used to be, with some electrical-types that came came over to the USA from the Mediterranean area to work on a manufacuring plant expansion.

Those notches in the scissor are used for stripping soft insulation (in SO, SJ multi-conductor cords) by pulling the wire over the notch with a thumb pressed on the wire, but it just seemed a little crude to me. Not effective at all for tough insulation.

There are numerous special knife blades and sheath rippers for removing outer jackets from cabling, so I couldn't figure out why electricians would need to use scissors for anything in particular.. cutting off a length of tape instead of just tearing it? Not likely.

-- Cheers, WB .............

Right. Didn't know that.

Indeed. There are similar but tougher devices that work in the same way.

In the UK the common house cabling is called Twin and Earth, which is solid core. The ECC is bare and the whole cover in an outer sheath. All you need to do to remove the outer is to cut a slot in it at the start with a knife, then pull the ECC down the sheath at right angles. Which saves any possibility of damage to the 'live' conductor's insulation.

Just as I expected, a faeces reference, but you forgot to use "retard". You're slipping.

Anyway, is that any way for a christian to behave? I wonder what your fellow christians think.

That sounds like 'Romex'.

Greed is the root of all eBay.

Think it is. Has a *very* long life if not overloaded - provided vermin can't chew the PVC. ;-)
