Amy, this is a delicate ethical matter that has come up before. If necessary,
I would suggest a meeting with other local AFOLs or a trusted member of

it clear that you might be doing something wrong.
Please do not ask us to justify your "issues" or even to lend support
for breaking out of what is considered normal or acceptable practice
for this community.

| (...) holding (...) I will be very interested in seeing your servo mods. I have been pondering this subject for awhile now. My biggest problem is how to attach a brick to the moving part of the servo. -Chuck (24 years ago, 2-Oct-00, to lugnet.build)
