I initially trained as a machinist in a shop
where actual "Machinists" worked.
The Apprentice Master had gone to work as an
apprentice himself when he was 14 years old
and was nearly 70 years old when I knew him.

Not a poster in sight.

OK, so I shouldn't do it, just because some
one-dimensional guy you knew didn't do it all
his long life?

Why are you telling me this, really?
