Ah... hmmm.
First, as I tried to hint to you earlier, I don't really think that this post
was necessarily nothing but a blatant flog. I did think it raised an
interesting point to debate, though, because it would be easy to flog in this
manner and claim that you were "just discussing a model you built".
I certainly think that Frank's suggestion of more discussion about the building
techniques used would lend more value to a post like this in the theme specific
groups- of course, I also understand that this idea puts people selling custom
sets over a bit of a barrel- explain too much, an people will just build your
set without buying it from you. I guess including a certai number of
hard-to-get parts would mitigate that a bit, though.
Anyway. The order certainly set off a flag in my head, and I can honestly say
done the other way 'round I probably wouldn't have even noticed it.
However, I think the correlation between the order posted and the order read:
A) Is pretty strong (a lot of people read Lugnet every day, and even if they
don't, most of the people I know read threaded discussion groups in
chronological order) and b) is a straw man, because the order people read the
posts in has *absolutely* nothing to with the intention behind those posts.
Sorry to take so long to reply to these things, I haven't been anywhere near a
keyboard lately, and I'm about to go away again. Ah, glorious freedom!

| (...) So how would you "grade" this one? I see it as a big contribution to the theme group and not at all a flog. Eric, I think, sees it rather more like pure flog with little or no redeeming value. Some specific guidance from you, since you're the (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jun-00, to lugnet.admin.terms)
