That Fucking Does It

Now we have a thread on Grippermania ridiculing the Joe Kinney #4 close?! Most of the bashing is coming from #1 and #2 closers. Typical. The blowtorch to the spring, then close, theory was advanced. Sounds great. I'm waiting for some grip moron to hit his gripper with an acetylene torch then close it. Maybe the 3rd degree burns will knock some sense into him. (Our chubby Canadian stalwart-friend claims that aluminum handles will not get hot because it's a poor thermal conductor, I guess we should all throw out our aluminum cookware. Transferring heat from the element to the cooking side has been an illusion.)

And of course we have an active thread, AGAIN, on "The Place For Grip Strength", droning on endlessly about Ironmind and the credit card set - ("Recert with Ironmind and get a free #3 or some such baloney").

I think Ironmind did the right thing. They were too trusting, and it bit them. As far as I'm concerned, the Ironmind cert is THE Gold Standard. It seems like others are starting to realize it also.

At least we are starting to see the tide turn and more are voicing the opinion that you are only fooling yourself by foot stomping the innards out of your gripper. WE ARE WINNING SLOWLY BUT SURELY HERE! Keep it up people.

Thanks for all the emails over the weekend! It makes it all worth while!
