The IForgeIron site is set up so that the next post reactivates a thread, and brings the thread back to the surface. This thread that was started May 18, 2005 and last posted May 30, 2005. It has laid dormant in the IForgeIron archives for 3 years.
In this case the thread discussion progressed to where a moderator felt their presence was needed. IForgeIron DOES NOT hide these things, IForgeIron does not cleanse and sanitize the logs, and you can find the ENTIRE DISCUSSION from the first question to the last comment in ONE PLACE for review.
Due to the ;apse in time and the sensitivity of the discussion, it would be best if Tom's question were moved to a new thread so the suggestion could get the attention and respect it deserves.
I will close this thread to posts, which is something rarely done on IForgeIron, so folks can concentrate on Tom's suggestion. This thread will still be available for review and reference if anyone has a question about bending. Bends in Gates
