   So, you're not gonna tell me? make me hunt all over the house for that issue? play coy with me?

   This relationship is going nowheres fast, between you and I. It takes open communication to have two people grow closer together.

   I assume you're not talking about something to hang a fence panel on, so what is "The Wood Post" you're referring to?If everything seems to be going well, you've obviously overlooked something.

   I'm not sure either, but I'm sensing a conspiracy involving blue helicopters and hidden subliminal messages in Tanton articles. And if you play the "Best of FH" cd backwards....

   the point, man!  the point!  get to the damm POINT!  we are not all wasting our time surfing here to indulge in some socratic dialogue or some other silly mind game-  we generally seek only relatively mindless entertainment and harmless diversion.   and if it doesn't unduly interfere with the aforementioned, a little education and enlightenment on occasion too.  so without too much further ado, could you trouble yourself to clue the rest of us in on the conspiracy to which you have previously alluded?

   ooooookay-  i've been thru the latest issue fairly thoroughly in the last couple days and i must have missed that reference.  would you mind being just a skosh more specific as to page number, etc?

   to further confuse me (as if i needed the help)- the stud comparison on pg. 116 was done @ HD.

   keep us posted.

   "lowes owns taunton according to the magazine"

   First of all if you KNOW this why did you ask the question in the first place.

   But also the question now, is WHAT MAGAZINE are you talking about.

   Taunton publishes 6 magazines and I have not gotten the latest FHB so I don't know what is in that.

   But I do have Lowe's "the Woodpost".

   Now unless your copy came with a secrete decorder ring that mine does nto have THERE IS NO PLACE IN IT THAT SAYS LOWE'S OWNS TAUNTON OR VS VERSIA!

   It does appear that they have a cooperative market agreement. Taunton supplied some editoral content and FHB and FWW are mentioned along with a Taunton book on finishing.

   Is it impossible for you to post more than one sentence at a time?

   Get to the point already. What are you trying to say? Three posts thus far and all you`ve said is "the magazine" claims Lowes owns Taunton....and nobody here has any idea of what you`re talking about.

   Andy,

   I know you are the Executive Editor of one of Taunton's major publications, but a guy named dale has posted on the internet that he saw it in some magazine...

   You expect me to take your word over evidence like that?!?!?

    When I owned my software company, a wayward employee tried to get us to sponsor a pro bicycle-racing team. He figured it would cost about 25% of our annual revenue and thought that was a reasonable investment. I like bike racing, but decided he wasn't a reasonable investment.

   Wow, imagine that! I have both of those issues and missed both articles. I was surprised at how many features the featured house in issue #147 shares with my own design. Thanks for hooking me up with that one.

   I would still like to see an article or two strickly devoted to SIPs but I'm glad to know Taunton has one less thing in common with Lowes than I suspected.Kevin Halliburton

   >with Lowes

   I'm now more worried about Lowes and the national weather service. CNN had a reporter on the beach in NC stop a "storm-tracking" truck to ask about the location of the storm, and the truck was plastered with Lowe's decals just like NASCAR cars! What's the connection?!?!? Maybe they're identifying houses falling down and doing a material's list!

   JDRHI | Sep 18, 2003 06:35am | #4

   Perhaps my phenominal grasp of the obvious is at play here but, Taunton publishes magazines directed at the many aspects of homeownership/homebuilding feilds and Lowes supplies many materials and tools to homeowners/homebuilders?

   Am I right? Can I have my cookie now?
