I wasn't going to say anything but....
I was a drywaller for many years while going to school and although I did
work with some people who exibited the traits that you describe, this was,
as usual in blanket accusations, a small minority. The majority were very
hard working men with families and great pride in the backbreaking job that
they did.
Apology accepted in advance

I sure love it when people realize there is a need for those of us that can get
our hands dirty with more than just clay and glazes and make it nice, square,
and useful, not to mention even a little artistic. True Blue-collar and proud
of it! Lee Burningham
