Apologies

Folks, I'd just like everyone to understand that this recent verification annoyance is not of our doing, certainly not of our intention. In 25 years, I've not had this kind of interference from gatekeepers, ever. It's so unfortunate that these bot intrusions have hit us just as we've totally redesigned and updated the site.

I encountered no barriers this morning, but we won't rest until we figure out the cause of the issue. I can sympathize perfectly with everyone's frustration. We didn't ask for this, but we're going to fix it. Meanwhile, the best thing you can do to help us is to keep the faith. 

Ellis Walentine, Host

None needed.

I understand the reasons.

Re: None needed.

Second that.

For some people, especially the ones that don't understand how things work, complaining is the only way to feel important.

Not to worry Ellis.  I think of these things as a good test to show that AI isn't as far along as proponents would have us believe.  Once Chatbot or Bing can pass these tests we are in real trouble - many of us will fail the robot tests in the futureπŸ€”πŸ™„πŸ˜!

Many thanks to you and  Peter for getting things back and for maintaining the website.  Keep up the good work.  You still have these best woodworking website on the internet!

Be safe and stay well.
