Chris, it is rare that I see your name in this forum, so I want to aknowledge
your post.

Please understand, I asked Soren to challenge me, I did not say "I challenge
you." For whatever difference there is in that, there it is.
I won't enter a competition where I am going to have to use 1x1 clips as hands,
nor wait nearly a year to see the results.
I DO think that if the terms are unacceptable to both parties, perhaps the
rational thing to do is to compromise.
I offered a compromise.
Really I think we SHOULD have a Mecha Contest again.
I was really interested to see if you would enter this past one, the MPC.
Maybe we should just hold a new contest. Lift spirits.
Either way, please don't think I am backing down.
I would have tried to entertain the contest, but I tell ya, Soren's cruelty via
email caused me to throw my hands up and say forget it.
Let me state again for the record:
"...but for real, to do the Mighty Alpha justice, the scale should be
proportional to the kinds of parts required to render the design."
I say we let K decide what Mecha we should build, let him be the sole judge for
all of our entries.
If so, I'll work with Mark to set up the contest, and then step out, and begin
to build.
Soren lost his chance with me, he couldn't keep his abusive tactics out of my
inbox.
