Re: [TCML] comment about new coilers

[bunnykiller <bunnikillr@xxxxxxx>]

Hey All..

A FAQ site would work for about the first week of a Newbies info 
requirements...
and then they would be here asking questions, but with a bit more 
knowledge ( and we all know a bit of knowledge is dangerous ;)   )
When I started doing coils, I read every available web page to gather 
info ( all 14 websites), but I still managed to come here and read 
everything I could and still asked a thousand questions  ( and recieved 
ten thousand answers :)  )
As someone had mentioned, a site like Sams's Laser Site would be quite 
informative in the same venue for coiling, but even tho I read 
everything that pertained to the lasers which I were trying to work 
with, I still ended up on Alt.Lasers asking questions.
(and the odd thing is alot of the questions never got answered, was 
always told to go read Sams site).
