Norm, when you stated and quote "why hasn't anybody said anything to me, only paul" i guess you were completely backing him as that was after he offered Brad a "sawoff" rubbishing Brads work, which was kind of funny seing "paul" would be running someone else's work not his own, see unfortunately i know nothing about porting saws, but i have been here long enough to know that there are "Simonised, Snelerized And Stumpbroke Saws" but hey i have never heard anyone rave about a "Maclarenized" saw, so straight away he landed in my "i think he is a major STROKER basket with one statement" and you backed him all the way, even to the point where Brad had to ask you "i thought we were friends" so to me Norm, directly or indirectly, yeah you played a part.
Andyshine, no your right, i wouldn't know mark from a bar of soap, but that doesn't mean he couldn't get it wrong, we compare a heated full wrap handle here to a non heated half ? get off the grass man, why not just weigh it with a 92 inch canon bar and the bloke stand on the scales holding it then and say it weighs 235 pounds, lets compare apples to apples here if we are going to be fair.
Norm, my cutting background extends back a few generations now, both my grand father and father were professional loggers in the central highlands and on the northwest coast but with that comes the weekend work that i was involved in as a child, my father won a chainsaw race with one of pops 090's but my uncle had to start it for him as my father at the time was only 13 and although able to run it, couldn't start it. But that's not me, i was more interested in the machinery that went with it, so in 81 at 16 i started my apprenticeship as a diesel mechanic with cat working for the first 15 years on logging equipment but in later days moving onto road going equipment but the whole time, now 46 i don't recall too many weekends missed from cutting on our family property, i have owned many saws over the years and to say i have cut a ton or two wouldn't be a lie. But never professionally, no.
