You inserted yourself in our conversation. Posting on the fly thinking I was reply to Brian. Now I have no shot with him, but if it can't be me I'm glad it's you.
You're having a conversation on a public forum and are failing to be witty as usual, point being?

My comment wasn't a win for you, it was confusion do to the stroke I had trying to make sense of your halfass "joke".

A German soldier rubs down massive shells for the 38 cm “Langer Max” rapid firing railroad gun, ca. 1918.​

The 38 cm SK L/45 “Max”, also called Langer Max (literal translation “Long Max”) was a German railroad gun used during World War I. The Langer Max could fire a 750 kg (1,650 lb) high explosive projectile up to 34,200 m (37,400 yd). Originally a naval gun, it was adapted for land service when it became clear that the ships for which it was intended would be delayed and that it would be very useful as long-range, heavy siege and coast-defense gun on the Western Front. The first guns saw service in fixed positions, but the lengthy preparation time required for the concrete emplacements was a severe drawback and a railroad mount was designed to increase the gun’s mobility. It participated in the 1918 Spring Offensives and the Second Battle of the Marne. One gun was captured in Koekelare (16 October 1918) by the Belgians at the end of the war and the seven surviving cannons were destroyed in 1921 and 1922.

My apology, It, the comment, was meant for someone else.

It must have been dyslexic Thursday as I am building a outfeed/ MPT (four 2x6 laminated legs) using drawbore pin joints and after drilling the pins and spreading glue, I forgot how it went back together. I couple of joints were as tight as a ..... Lets just say they took a dozen blows from a 2 1/2lb dead blow to seat.

Thanks for not being a dick about it.
