Or a building inspector.  How does one know if all has been 
followed?  There are many horror stories out there

I take umbrage with the use of 'impute', possibly 'assume' as he stated the 
response was 'sarcastic'.


>Tacky

Was this your signature?

All I asked was why could not the precast blocks be used?  Steve's answer 
was like a parent, "Because!"
I have had responses that  state the question, while not put correctly, was 
a valid one, Steve's answer, a pat and possilbe flip one.

I thought that hams tried to think outside of the box, or on the other side 
of the wall or with a different paradigm, so I asked a question that I 
thought might evoke answers not retorts.  If I bruised Steve's feelings I 
apologize.  He has made many valid comments, however, this was not one of 
them.  Whereas, those comments on my question by Henry, Dave and Kelly were 
constuctive while critical.
