Since this thread has been bumped up, I thought it would be a good idea to put to rest something that apparently bothers a few people who have been trying to discredit me. First they attack me on my chains, then my crosscut saws, then my friends and finally my age. How low can you get?
I have been getting disgusting, filthy and offensive emails from Tom Fales, Jr., sometimes on a daily basis. Some of it stems from my mentioning that I once filed crosscut saws for Mark Etcheberry. He calls me a liar and doesn’t think that ever happened. Well, I filed saws for a lot of people and didn’t necessarily care what their status was as to being famous or not, I treated everyone the same. I respect people who go on to be outstanding in their field but still remain humble. I believe people who have attained some notoriety should not become narcissistic and push their emotions and sentiments onto others who just don’t care and aren’t interested.
I will post the letters from Mark Etcheberry for everyone to see and they can judge for themselves the credibility of these few people who have managed to damage this fine Arboristsite.
Later I want to again re-open the subject of full house chains since there has been doubt put on it’s ability to cut as fast as I claim. This probably will again affect the credibility of some so-called “experts” on the site. So be it. I stand behind all the articles I have submitted in the series on race chains. Why wouldn’t I, since I have over 45 years of experience.
