1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.

(I'm sure there's a tipping point between buying and renting. It's not as if he's going to make a habit out of dismembering corpses.)
I think the break-even point is generally considered to be once a week. If you need to dismember corpses less often than that, renting probably makes sense. Otherwise, buy. Of course, I have no idea what's so bad about a good old-fashioned Stanley hand saw and pond full of piranhas, maybe with one of those little bamboo waterfalls and some plants. Decline of craftsmanship, I tell you.
ReplyDeleteHm, perhaps it would be best to stop before this blog winds up on some kind of list.
