Proof

When I forst joined the gripboard, about 2-1/2 years ago. There was a strong demand for proof. Mostly everyone was kept legit. I remember some claiming to pull a number 4 to within a 1/4 inch meeting ridicule and demands for proof. Others claimind to close a number 3 gripper once every minute for an hour. There were demands that he make a one hour video. A couple of guys bent 100 Ironmind Red nails in one hour, again a tape was demanded, etc etc etc

Now we have pinheads claiming to hold the #4 shut, or nosetting it to 1/4", or front levering 12 lb sledges, squashing Super Elites etc etc etc. And there is back slapping all around. I will note that the ones claming to smash the big grippers have also noted that they jump up and down on them to season them. Big fuking surprise.

Oh well, flame off.

EDIT: 7/15

I just noticed a log where someone is claiming multiple braced closes with the #4, Two years ago the claimer would be ridiculed non stop until video proof was submitted. Now we congratulate. There are old threads on the gripboard expressing doubt that Joe Kinney never closed the 4. Now we have multiple logs of 4 "chasers".

Hmmmm.
