MSB, hmmm, MSB. i've seen posters call you a coffee and an ingredient put in food. yes, i bet there is a story in there somewhere. come on, fess up.

BTW, since severely curtailing my online time i haven't kept up with a lot of things including your chess games. how are they going?

So is "driller's helper" another word for "roughneck"?

it is my understanding they are equivalents but in two different industries. the former on the diamond drills and the later on the oil rigs. i have never worked on the oil rigs. it is probably safe to say both are about as low on the pecking order as any human could wish for and they handle all the heavy work. a charming breed in a bar on Saturday night! don't ever tell one that their mother produced mutants. they may get confused and think you are supposed to be a ham sandwich.
