[plasmacutting] Re: repost to reach as many people as I can

Hi Tom,

Going back in history the reason PlasmasPig wants to protect its
files is that a couple of years ago some SOG lifted upwards of a
hundred ready to cut drawings, posted there in goodwill by Pig
members, AND SOLD THEM ON EBAY. Yes, AND SOLD THEM ON EBAY!

I am not a member of the Pig, but I sure think they are wise in
restricting just who can become a member. Maybe this is why you see
virtually no drawings posted to any other plasma cutting board.

The Internet is crawling with creeps… Think about the ramifications
of that!
