Ben, Just a side note -- it recently came to light that part of the problem in Jonathan's parts might be related to .cad.dat posting problems -- at least things like missing studs...still gathering info. This probably doesn't affect the overall general opinion but it's something to keep in mind. Jonathan, On another thread you asked how you might improve your quality levels. Something you might want to consider is stepping back and choosing a single part -- any single part (but not bunch of parts at once) -- and working on it until it is truly beautiful and amazing. Then, if you can demonstrate mastery of one part, you put yourself on more solid ground with respect to earning the respect of your parts co-authors/peers. Maybe just in general, you might want to slow down a bit and work on one part at a time (i.e. focus your energies). --Todd
