OK, here is the way it happened.

You should've stopped right there.

Kevin post a message that said he made a Dobro out of a Weber
Kettle.
Not really. It was almost implied, but he didn't say it.

Wrong.

Had a link. When you went to the site there was a picture of a Dobro
made from a Kettle.

Correct on both counts.

BUTT Wilson did not build it.

Correct -- but then again, I never said I did.

Get a life!

"I recently finished a "Dobro" Made from a Weber barbeque. I hand
carved a maple neck and made the sound well out of bendy board. The
top is solid spruce and the hardware is all standard dobro that I
ordered from Stew-Mac. It sounds great and will actually be played by
a friend in concert next month."

See the word "from," followed by a URL? See the quotation marks?

Then along comes a post from Tom with the message saying he made a
Dobro

The post to which Cramer was responding wasn merely a copy of the
passage I had quoted from the webbage.

BS

No it wasn't. It had a picture. A binary picture. In a text only
newsgroup. Binaries *DO* show up on some news servers, some strip them
out. People that subscribe to news servers that *ONLY* provide text-only
posts *do* strip them out. Some other news servers do, some don't.
Mine, Nick's, and Big Jim's obviously didn't since we got the
picture/binary from "tom".
but you knew that. ;-)

I recently finished a "Dobro" Made from a Weber barbeque. I hand carved
a maple neck and made the sound well out of bendy board. The top is solid
spruce and the hardware is all standard dobro that I ordered from
Stew-Mac. It sounds great and will actually be played by a friend in
concert next month.

Now, singalong with me: Bob posted a binary! Bob posted a binary!
But he nicked it!
