Home Depot and Menards Not Bringing the Wood

I don't have any idea what that even means.

For everyone else in this sorry thread I apologize that it culminated in a useless pissing contest with this guy.

Back to the original point of the thread, I would still like to know what basis the plaintiffs had, for this perceived injury they sued about. Other than a pay day, what were they trying to get compensated for?

They were not professionals and had no financial losses.

They did not represent the class majority of those in industrial building corporations affected by measurement standards.
(or anyone else for that matter.)

Those idiots bought the wrong product by choice, from two different stores, after personally handling it, and walking it up to the register.

[javadog]

Yes, but how did they claim they were harmed?

That is not exactly what I said.

There is a coefficient of thermal expansion. Usually assumed to be a linear thermal expansion.

And would you like to clarify your statement at all?

[gordner]

Nope seems clear.

[gordner]

"You do know that steel will shrink and expand probably a factor of 20 times, maybe more, every day"

Websters " a quantity by which a given quantity is multiplied or divided in order to indicate a difference in measurement •costs increased by a factor of 10"

so a factor of twenty or more.....care to clarify your statement? I fully understand thermal expansion, and even coefficients.

[gordner]

Sorry, I missed that I typed "of" instead of "or", was that the clarification you desired?

Coefficients of Linear Thermal Expansion

I guess you don't see "any" building materials here.
