i don't want to "dirty up" an existing post trying, so i thought i'd ask here? i've hesitated to pm ryan suggesting a post as a candidate for tech-o-matic because i didn't want to preclude someone from adding valuable information. i've pm'd ryan before and suggested a particular post be added to tech-o-matic and he has done so, but i've always waited until the post has been dormant for a couple of weeks at least. right now i think the one about getting out the broken off stud out of a block would be an excellent addition, but maybe there's more good stuff that hasn't been added...
