Ozwelder - can we get more details here? We're pretty good at altering the site from user feedback, but I need to get some more specifics here before we can act.

The following titles were some of what I saw when opening the various daily "Homemade Tools" newsletters quite recently.

I saw them as a filler to be used when more suitable posting material was be searched for.
Having said that the vast majority of posts are quite useful and often serve as a catalyst to get off my backside and synthesis an idea for something I am building at the time .

Certainly the various titles are certainly titbits of interest to different folks on the board, but honestly, manufacturing ,advertising and historical interest does not emanate from the home workshop and that is the crux of my post.

That is why I posted the comment.
