I just realized if I right click on the post window, Chrome has a spell check option.

Two things the polymer neos don't like are solvents and moisture. The solvents can break down the plastic bonding material, and a component of the neos are iron (the full description is neodymium-iron-boron), so moisture can start rust to develop.

Look, this is Greg's "track" and we run by his rules. I don't see his edits as a problem at all, especially since:

1) He actually knows proper form
2) His edits (*as far as I can see) are about form and not generally content, so the original idea is preserved (as long as the original idea isn't one that violates the terms of use and/or "propriety"), but in a way that looks more "professional."

Still, I see things here all the time he lets slide. The evergreen use of "of" instead of "have" being one. For example, when someone says "I should of" or "I would of" or "I could of"...i nstead of "I should have" etc.   I try and be fairly careful when I post here and elsewhere, but I am sure he lets some of my stuff slip by as well. I mean, if this were the NY Times, his editing here would be a full-time job!  (and even they miss things!).

It just dawned on me. If Greg has the time to endlessly edit posts on the forum, it means he doesn't have anything better to do. Poor, Greg! Someone give him a hug!  

[havlicek]

Not really, Phil. What it does mean is that Greg has a vision for how he wants this place to "look" to anyone who may just come by or stop-in. And he's willing and able to do what it takes, to put in the effort to make that happen.

And when we all die, and since we're all old, that may be sooner than later, there will be no one left to admire Greg's considerable editing skillz (that was on purpose, dammit!).

 

But no doubt Greg will go down in history as one of the greatest editors of all time, like...and...least we forget...well I don't know of any. Greg can be the first!

With my bad English I know I have given a lot of work to do to you, Greg.  

[havlicek]

Honestly, I never even think about any of this. To me, it would be like wondering about a sunny day!

[Cheater]

Guys, honestly, I have been doing this so long that it doesn't add that much time on top of just reading the posts.

 

And it's been years since I've been able to read every post that is made every day.

Are you done, Phil?

You are the guy who gets invited to the party that complains that the guacamole has a little too much cilantro.

He's not inconveniencing you with his editing.

I find it much odder than you are spending the time coming up with rude, sarcastic comments, like the above.

[Phil Smith]

I'm just joking, Mike. That seems pretty obvious to me.

 

I frequent other forums and don't piss people off like I do here. I guess they're not as old and cranky.

[MSwiss]

It's an unnecessary post, making fun of/marginalizing Greg. And not adding anything to this forum, or your concern about Life-Like magnets.
 
You're the guy at the party that let's the host's Mickey Mouse salt n' pepper shaker collection bother him.
 
PS: We're not old. You're just a bit rude.

Those fast trackers are good running cars. All the ones I had were doing the same thing.
I took the magnets out and cleaned the flakes off with duct tape. I sanded both sides and all the edges and put them back in and so far so good.
If I have to do any touch ups ill Probably coat them with CA to seal the surfaces next time

[Phil Smith]

Yes they're amazingly fast for such an inexpensive car. I remember people not liking them because they weren't rebuildable. But I viewed them like sealed retro motors. Run it until it dies then throw it away.
