Hopefully this thread will result in something for the Vault.
Not looking for values. They have been posted in numerous threads.
Looking for how-to's. The manual does go over it, but it doesn't really go into step by step. Nor does it list the tips and tricks(like holding the post while you tighten the lock nut) that ya'll have refined over the years.
All input welcome. There are more ways to do things than one. Each person has "their" way. So let's hear from you! How dos youse do it?

At what cost has a lack of administator control been. have lost a valuable contributor and its thanks to no censorship of the troublemaker jimmytheucker. Now, after jtt has caused a pile of trouble 5twins has quit and deleted all posts himself.

Thanks for your input 5twins, tiss a shame you had to do what you did

I had printed this out... I'll see if I can find it on my mess of a bench.

This is a pity. 5twins was always a great help to me. I was not aware that this had happened til today.

5T is a big boy and stepped in to the middle of a argument that wasn't his to start with and made some comments .... moral of the story don't hand it out if you can't take it yourself
