In the comments thread under the youtube video, there was a lot of projection about how big brother was going to destroy woodworking by mandating sawstops on all table saws. As to my feelings on this, see my comments under donorcycles.
I probably would have been outraged over the possibility that all table saws could possibly be $1k more expensive, until I correct typos due to the shorter fingers on my left hand. $1k more for the saw would have been a bargain in my case. (On the other hand, as my empathetic brother pointed out, "Sure, you can only count to 9-1/3 instead of 10, but you're much better with fractions now.")

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
