What Did You Buy Today?

I bought two NOS Criterion 3/4” shank, 3-1/8" OAL stubby carbide boring bars:

Well, it was actually last Saturdays purchase.
Logan 11"- taper tool, milling attachment, collets, full set of metric gears, reamers, tool post grinder and lots of tooling. Could not be happier.

I think they call that a "package deal". Very nice find.

Out of curiosity, I Googled Jerry Hulse.

Replying to a single person in this way is like talking behind the back of all other members. When we use the @name, as in this post, It is very hard to search for the other members comment so we know what's being referred to. Please use the 'quote' option so others can be a part too. If you just want to reply privately to the other member then use the 'start a conversation' .

Bryan! Some instruction would be helpful to all.

Sorry but I like this forum and I also like EASY.

Thanks
Aaron

Yeah it was a good package deal.

Funny, I started out that day to just go out and spend 3-$500 and purchase some good, but used measuring tools (dial, test, micrometers or other goodies) when I received a CL notification of a new ad for a lathe. When I saw the posting my mind started running, boy that looks like a smoking deal. I just had to hold off on my original task for the day and drive 1 hour away to take a look ---- boy I was glad I did

Interesting complaint Aaron.

Since my reply is in plain view, It's not behind anybody's back.

FYI, in reply #9027, @mattthemuppet2 posted that he had purchases some shop items. The pictures included some shop made tools that were marked with the name "Jerry Hulse". The name was clearly visible in a picture, but not mentioned in the text, so one had to be interested (paying attention) to wonder if any more info about Jerry could be found.

You see Aaron, I "Watch" this thread. I don't usually reply here, but Matt's buy was special to me. I digress.
I don't know if you didn't see reply #9027, didn't notice or care about the markings "Jerry Hulse" or exactly why you didn't make an instant connection.

Come to think of it, I use the @ thing for a couple of reasons. 1) it's easy 2) It saves page space (and bytes) by not reproducing the previous/referenced post.

It's more work for me, but I could use Quote, then edit out all the text and pictures (as I've done in this reply).

The problem is, that method is less EASY for me. What a dilemma.

I wonder how many other users are distressed by the use of @? I think I'll start a poll.

So I usually just hit reply as often I want people to see what I was replying too, including sometimes snipping out unnecessary wording.

I need to understand why the @ option is easier.
