Larry L. said:I see you say the other programmers are wrong even tho they too are experts as your way is the right way,its seems that crowd too isn't in the high IQ.Hardwood refinishing is a different animal but a computer experts knows that right.You say the powerwashing crowd aren't really smart enough to answer your expert computer tec but some of us make way more than a computer programmer which a monkey can push buttons.I see you have never cleaned a cat b/c you too think they are alot of ways to do so,they is only one way to do so the right way but your the expert do it your way,nothing personal.
Pardon me if I'm mistaken in interpreting your attempt at forming a paragraph, but how much you make has little to do with your intelligence (as illustrated by your inability to either understand my point or verbalize a response). Since i make about 500K/yr I'll guess that makes me a lot smarter than you by your standards, and also smarter that other "expert" computer programmers who are more hacks than anything else. The fact is that anyone can read Harry's paper, spend a small amount of money and become a powerwasher, but I'll bet my house and portfolio that none of you could do what I do, even if you spend 20 years studying to do it. Unlike powerwashers, the difference between good programmers and bad ones is easily quantifiable.
My point was that all people THINK they are experts even if they are patently incompetent. Thats why stupid people hang out with other stupid people, so there is no one to tell then how stupid they are and they can think they're as smart as everyone else. Its basic group dynamics.
I don't doubt that your method works. But since I'm not doing it myself I have to deal with the people that are available. Your close-mindedness towards any method other than your own shows that you probably don't understand what you do as much as you think. I've seen the results of all of the methods and they all look similar. My conclusion is that you can ruin a deck with cold water or hot water or by sanding it. I'm also certain that you can also make it look good with the proper technique with any of the methods.
I'm not used to mingling with the little people so excuse my etiquette if I've offended.
