No, really, I don't have any idea what contest you're referring to. I infer you
have an actual one in mind but I don't know which one. I especially have no idea
why you wouldn't want to post a link here. Can you elaborate on that? Why would
posting a link to a contest be something you wouldn't want to do? Our hobby has
lots of contests and they're usually lots of fun for everyone.

Different than what? I wasn't referring to any particular contest, it was a turn
of phrase.

None. I think assuming I had one in mind might be a false assumption.

Unskewing talk to build ratios is always good advice, but I have to wonder who's
operating under false assumptions here and who's the one making less than
helpful comments. As for my personal ratio, it's currently loads more build than
usual for me, (especially if you count creating information as well as models)
so I'm pretty happy about that. How's yours?

OK, thanks.
I'll repeat, more explicitly, it's my view that Richie did this to get
attention, and not for the usual reasons (1), but rather to cause a stir, that
is, in classic internet usage, to troll. The bigger this thread gets, the more
attention he's gotten.
I could be wrong of course, but that's sure the way the thread seems to be
unfolding... a mediocre (at best, certainly not among his best work, I think
most folks would agree) creation and lots of back and forth about whether it's
appropriate or not, calls for various rash actions, etc.
That certainly appears like a successful troll to me. YMMV.

spiffy... (sorry!) or to share novel or interesting new building techniques, or
to tell a fun story

| (...) Just as I inferred the same from your statement "Richie: Nice contest entry but I don't think it will win"???? Larry you can't have it both ways. ROSCO (19 years ago, 9-Aug-05, to lugnet.space)
