Hoo boy! Where are all the welders wsho are going to be offended by this elitism. Do you
really think Machinists know more about the materials they work with than Ticketed Pressure Welders knows about the materials know about the materials they work with?
Incidentally your first post had this little gem;
The tone of the discussion is very high-minded and there is little or no hate-speech on the topic that is a common feature of so many other forums on the topic.
Go back a thousand or two posts in the Coming Climate Change thread and see how high minded some of the debate was; or look at current posts between different participants.
In my experience machinists are no more and no less scientific in their approach to their career, and life, than any other people no matter what their traded, career or profession.
