I already apologized for sounding like I was belittling your choice of location or trying to deflate your ideas. That was never my intent and I am sorry that you took it that way. I deliberately prefaced my comments with "devil's advocate" so that everyone would know that I was poking fun. OK, "a ruse to get someone to smile" as you put it, though I don't remember slipping in through the back door or hitting you sideways. I definitely wasn't trying to make an enemy, and I hope that hasn't happened. At the very least, let's move on to something else like papercrete.
You made no mistake about this being a forum to discuss a serious topic. Humor is definitely encouraged on this list, first and often by the founder - Slurry Guy, and by the moderators that he hand picked. Too often the people actually doing papercrete get too busy to post much, but you'll find a lot of good information in the archives and by following the links.

You gathered incorrectly. Actually I've been to Demming proper about 5 times that I can remember. Different times of the year too. I've lived for a short period of time in Tucson, AZ. I grew up in the desert in California, and am familiar with desert living. I've sweated and labored in one of the hottest deserts in the world. I prefer Deming to any of the other locales of south Arizona, New Mexico or west Texas for many reasons. The biggest reasons are the milder climate and the existence of good water in a decent thick aquifer and the prices of the properties and the posture for future growth at a slow but decent rate (rather than boom-bust). I see little reason to deflate other people's ideas here about where they want to live. Those things have always been and will always be subjective.My reaction earlier was made on the premise that I'm the kind of guy who pretty much lives his life being direct about things. I state facts, I make honest pleas, project my intention, and am forthright in most every way. I am used to dealing with people who communicate as such rather than slip in through the back door or hit you sideways as a ruse to get someone to smile or get others to think you're snazzy. So I took what Spaceman said to be direct. As an attempt to deflate my plan to make it sound undesireable to others, for some personal gain of some kind. Anyhow, perhaps I mistook this forum as a serious forum to discuss a serious topic kind of like in a way nerds and engineers relating tips and facts with each other. I just didn't see any real good reason to deflate someone else's ideas without cause to speak of.Well whatever, there certainly is a lot of meat in here. I'm just planning to let go of this and move on. In fact I already did so until your comment.perry
