   Well thanks but I'm having problems parsing extactly what it is you are

   OK, fine, we both agree that the post that started all this was claiming   
   people would be printing everything at home including cars.

   OK, what part of I never said 3D printers are "the next thing" nor do I   
   believe that do you have an issue with?
