Alright guys, take it easy on Dan, he's a Newfie, look at the addy. Dan
how did you send the message if you don't know where you are. NGs are
in the Usenet, long before there was a Web, or even a grownup Gore.
It's hiding in that box on your desk. I just got done smoking some
salmon too, SWMBO wants to make some salmon spread for the holidays.
Welcome to the group, read the FAQ if you haven't already. To save
flame wars, you might want to Do A Google Search (DAGS) on a subject
before you ask about it, there is nothing new under the sun and we tend
to talk about it all in 3 month cycles.

There are several varieties of brown bear. The formal Latin for the
brown bear is "Ursus Arctos". Both the "Kodiak" and "Grizzly" are
'forms' of the brown bear, and are "sometimes considered separate
species" -- Ursus Middendorffi, and Ursus Horribilis, respectively.

Calling them separate "breeds" (about as different as a cocker spaniel
and a springer spaniel) wouldn't be far off the mark.

The North American Black Bear (Ursus Americanus) is a separate, albeit
closely related, species. Similar to a coyote vs. a dog.

went out long story anyway and I'm here whittling away and I think it's
going to take that long to make a new pair.

You're right about brown bears, and the European version is also the
same species.

>closely related, species. Similar to a coyote vs. a dog.

Not that closely related. Even though coyotes (Canis latrans), wolves
(C. lupus) and dogs (C. familiaris) are considered different species,
they can and do interbreed when they are not busy eating each other.
Grizzlies and Black bears do not, and AFAIK, cannot.

Whew! I'm glad you said "smelled" there. =:0


This reminds me of the old bear escape story.

My buddy and I were wandering through the woods when a
huge Grizzly bear came running up at us.

My buddy was a macho fool and thought he could scare
the bear, so when it stood up on its two hind legs,
raised its paws, and growled at him, my buddy did the
same thing toward the bear. It immediately swatted his
head off and turned toward me.

Meanwhile, I had been running down the path. The large
Griz, who moved about 3 times faster than I could, soon
caught up and raised his front paws as he growled in my ear.
I darted off to one side and the bear went skidding on past.

I ran the other way and the bear soon caught up with me
again. As he raised his paws and growled loudly, I darted
off to the other side and the bear went skidding on past.

We repeated this a third time before the bear tired of me,
ate my buddy, and walked off into the forest. And that's
how I lived through all that.

"Why did the bear go skidding on past me every time I ran
sideways?" you ask. Well, he got so close that I could smell
his breath (the berries and fish he had eaten before he got
to think of me as a meal) as he growled at me. That literally
scared the shit out of me...

...and the bear went skidding on past.

Ackshally, Michael, brown bears are grizzlies. The other kind of bear
is the American Black Bear. BTW, the other identifying characteristic
of grizzly scat is that it smells like pepper (capsicum, Groggy).

where what?

we already established that you are in (or at least from) Canada

where is usenet? it's a virtual place. it's physical location is
nothing more than a collection of bits of data on hard drives spread
all across this planet (sol3 aka earth) tied together by a handfull of
protocols. it isn't a "place" in the sense that your living room is.

Bridger

Dan -

This is the rec.woodworking newsgroup, and it is available through your
internet service or under "Groups" in Google. But you have to beware, as
Dave is a KNOWN rip. Don't send him the $199.00!! The actual rate is only
$125, and frankly, I'm surprised that Dave is STILL trying to get away with
this. With the monitoring bracelet and home arrest, you'd think he had more
sense.

Y'all just send the money to ME, and I'll be sure that everything is okay.

Your new best friend,

John Moorhead

Which reminds me of a Grizzly story, totally unrelated...

When hiking in the north country it pays to be aware of bears.
Knowing that bears are usually reclusive, hikers will often wear
things like bells and bright-colored clothing to warn of their
approach.

One should be aware that there are two main types of bears to be
concerned with; the Brown bear and the Grizzly. Professionals such as
Forest Rangers know that a hiker can usually tell what kind of bear is
inhabiting the area they're hiking by examining any observed scat.

Although both bears are omnivorous, Rangers familiar with both species
know that the Brown bear is more vegetarian in their eating habits and
their scat will be heavily laced with undigested vegetable matter.
The Grizzly's, on the other hand, will be more likely to include large
amounts of little bells and orange cloth.

Happy Hiking!
Michael

:) sure thing, Dan, but after 90 days, I need you to send a notarized
doctor's excuse, ok?

Yea, but it appears that this one catches on quick.
You had better polish up your various shenanigans.

Welcome Dan!
As for where the 'Wreck' is located, this is Usenet - unlike various
private forums around the web, this on is located at no specific
location - it exists on servers spread around the world, not at one
specific machine/location.

Greg G.

Welcome Dan!

You will want to check out alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking or ABPW as we
call it... That's the companion group for picture posting. Jigs, projects,
etc. There is also a alt.binaries.pictures.furniture, but not too many
people use that one.

Oh yeah, one more thing. The stuff about dues and all is just a bunch of
crap as you know. Really we all just meet at my house every Friday, just
bring some beer (enough for both of us, it is my house after all) and
munchies (enough for 6,348 people, oops forgot you, make that 6,349 people).

Yo Dan,

Welcome to the wreck as it's alovingly known around here. Post on topic and
don't let these guys give you any lip and you'll get along just great in
here!

ps: the newsgroup is rec.woodworking and it's located on usenet....if you
mean "where are the MEMBERS located," the answer is: no place specific, all
over the world, even as far off as Delaware! oooooooh!! =)

[ Ahhh! Looks like another smart-aleck joins the ranks. ]
Dan, you'll fit right in! In fact, c'mon up here to the front row...

Please be sure to ask questions like:
a) Which table saw should I buy?
b) Is Harbor Freight any good?
c) Should I buy a router table?
d) What's BORG and who's SWMBO?
e) Grizzly, is that a real bear next to Dan Haggerty?
f) Why do you folks pick on Norm, so much?
g) What's wrong with my penchance to purchase Craftsman power tools?
h) Is quartersawn SYP worth the $11/BF I've been quoted?

and finally, please inquire about
i) Free plans -- Where can I find them?

You didn't notice? We are spinning along at about 9000rpm. Don't
stand up when the drive head comes by.
