Thread: Hone Clubs?

The SRP Wiki razor data base doesn't supersede the razor clubs sub forum. To some of us a rectangular slab of sedimentary rock is as beautiful as a mint Goldedge.

Excellent. To clarify: The Wiki and the forums are, obviously, not mutually exclusive. However, both do some things well, and others not so well. Forums are, in my personal opinion, good tools for the exchange of news and opinions. They are not very good for storing, and making available, aggregated information. The Wiki is the exact opposite. Using the forum to gather information, and then compile it in a Wiki article, is how I would go about this subject matter. Add to that the Wiki database, and you should be all set.

Mind you, this is my personal opinion which I am not trying to impose upon anybody. Not really, that is.

forgive me Robin, that just struck me as funny. BTW, I don't disagree with your contention but I'd still like to see the additional sub forum. As Old School said it will either sink or swim based on participation.

Curb your enthusiasm; for good measure, we're obviously going to invite another monopolist in order that there will be sound competition between 'wise and benevolent distribution policies'. I think Jason01 would make an excellent candidate.

Just what I need!
Don't think Frankonians and Welsh do take each other much

I submit forums are a way in which ideas are formulated, tested by peers, validated (or discarded), and assigned value prior to being incorporated into a database.

I can have a finding or opinion, but until it is vetted, discussed and verified by common experience it doesn't achieve the status needed to be presented as knowledge and suitable for placement as part of our knowledge of hones and honing.

Think of it as peer review.

I nominate JimmyHAD to be the Grand Poo-Bah of the Hone clubs... Maybe we could call him the "Head Rock"

lolz

Anyone for a Norton Club?

I know ... it's almost laughable.


Whiskers out.

Thanks for the nomination but I'm just another member. There are many more knowledgeable on rocks and razors then I. They just don't post as often. We can all contribute to it and enjoy it but AFAIC Lynn remains the Grand Poo Bah if there is one.

It's all in good fun, that's all ...

Yep, the best Jimmy could be in the US would be "Secretary of Hones".

Though for a classier title would be "Minister of Hones". But I would insist that someone post a pic of him in his wig.

The minister of silly walks would be better.
