With apologies to Mr. Jefferson, "let facts be submitted to a candid world:"
You won't provide a name, by your own admission your screen name of "Glen Henson" isn't even your real name;
Your email is suspect (according to a well-respected author and IT security specialist);
you won't tell us what you're wanting to do with the information you request;
The information you seek is clearly provided in the blueprints (which you claim to have) and in a gazillion photos here on the forum and elsewhere on the net and yet you're seem to most insistent that we are the only source of the information you seek;
You claim you're "from the U.S.A. Merica!" yet your diction and command of the English language says otherwise...my guess is that while you have a good command of the English language it is not your native tongue/you're not a native speaker;
"Engineer enthusiast"? I'm completely lost on this one but again by your owbn admission you can't read blueprints ("oh, that's a hole");
"PirateKing"? Again, sounds pretty suspect.
In short, you come here making specious claims while being evasive and then want to toss snarky comments about. It's not my house, but if it was, I'd suggest you try again: leave and come back in with a whole new attitude, or just leave.

Look, there are simply some things I will not say. I have my reasons. I am doing my best to give you the information you want, without dropping the info I need to hold on to. There is nothing I can do with these photos that I can't already do with the thousands of photos already up. The only thing different about these photos is that I require some more of them for references.
You misread or I misunderstood. My email is not suspect.. My online name is different, which is completely different. The name is personal preference. Everyone has different preferences. Personally, everyone already knows where I'm located in the world, so the name is a step to far for me personally. You are more than welcome to post your name, I have no quarrel with that.
I have given you an idea of what I'm going to be using with the photos. The project itself is trade secret, but the photos will be used only as references. I can use the other photos as references as well, but I need the right tool for the right job. You can't use a rock to hammer that well, it will work, but not so great.
Claim to have? This is actually starting to get on my nerves. I'm having trouble seeing what you're gaining by putting in stuff like that besides calling me outright a liar.
As I mentioned before. This is to save time, and I'd rather have a hammer to hammer nails than a rock. Right photos are better than ehh photos.
The blueprints don't happen to have photos at different angels with the parts finished. They don't make great references. They are the plans.
You are not the only help I seek. I am looking through the albums, and other sites that have been posted on this forum.
Okay. Another, "I claim". Your guess is wrong. I am American, and this is my native tongue. It happens to be a little choppy because I haven't spoken it that much for about half a year now. As said by the credited IT, I am in Germany for the time being.
Stated before, I'm having trouble reading the blueprints. I have done other engineering projects in the past, and enjoyed them. Luger is different from what I've done before. However, you're right. I can't be an engineer enthusiast "a person who likes engineering" if I'm not the best in the world at it.
Concerning the comments. I like fighting fire with fire, might not be the most mature way of handling it, and that's why I try not to to begin.
However, this post of yours has me rather upset. I do not like it very much when people question my personal choices, call me outright a liar, and say I can't even enjoy what I like because I'm not that good at it.
