Your question on waxing
Next time, don't bother us with a lot of questions, if all you want is a
reference to a 'book'. Sherwin D. |

What is the "bother" and who is the "us?" Your comment misses the
spirit of welcome and discussion on rsn. It also misread the intent of the questions included in original post; i.e., not to be directly answered, but examples of questions that a book or other source would speak to -- which was subsequently provided.

Hi Jim,
I apologize for coming on so strong. I really intended the message to go to just to Jeff, but it somehow got on the board instead. My initial gripe was that I took some time out to answer his question and he reacted as if it was no help to him, and the pointer to a comprehensive web site was all he wanted. He should have just said that, and saved me time responding. In retrospect, it was kind of a petty complaint. Sherwin D. Jim Flom wrote: "Gene Goldenfeld" wrote in message ...

I don't understand what Sherwin was upset about, but I do appreciate his
response to my original post. I should have been more specific, as I was actually looking for performance-oriented waxing info, which several people provided links to. So, thanks again to Sherwin, and also to the other respondents, and if you're ever out west (Colorado), look me up and we'll go skiing somewhere.

I stride because I can't skate but I'd like to, if a: the conditions were right and b I could work out how to for more than 100 yards!
