1. (technical) *Are* the grey lobes constant width?  Matt had them flaring
WAY too much in his first version. You still have some (much less) flare. I
don't have the part in front of me right now so I can't remember for certain
but I thought they were constant width.

There is supposed to be a bit of flaring on these, I admit I put WAY too
much, but there is supposed to be some.

2. (procedural) Did Matt register this part as one that he was working on?
If so, I assume you just posted yours as an example of how to do it, right?
If not, Matt, you need to use the parts tracker, I think. That tracker is
there to avoid duplication of effort.

Since Franklin did a much better job of it than I did, I'm just going to
scrap my version in favor of a superior one.

I looked here:

http://home.swipnet.se/~w-20413/ttracker/ttracker.htm (is that the right
place?, it should be listed on the front page of the group, Todd...)

and didn't see it listed as either Matt OR Franklin's WIP.

I didn't even know that existed.

We have here an example of someone who is trying to do parts, but may not be
doing things quite the right way. Matt needs to acknowledge the feedback
he's getting from Chris, and Franklin, both experienced parts authors, as
what they are saying (which isn't intended to be harsh) is advice that has
been learned the hard way. IMHO. Let's avoid letting things get too far.
Again IMHO.

I highly agree, I've acknowledged some by regular e-mail, just to keep
"noise" out of the group.

However no one needs to necessarily acknowledge *me*. I'm just a gadfly.

But a gadfly with a voice.

Matt

  Parts tracker needs more visibility (was Re: 4150p101.dat - tile 2 x 2 w/ SW imperial pattern
 
(...) And *that* is why the parts tracker URL needs to be listed on the web front page of the cad.dat.parts group. Todd Lehman, can you fix that, please? Thanks! ++Lar (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Good, I feel a lot better now. There is a fine line between getting stuff right by judicious use of group critical appraisal, and squelching enthusiasm. I am glad to see that's not the case and you're cranking out more parts! Keep at it! Since (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I like it. I have a couple of questions (as an interloper, not as an author) 1. (technical) *Are* the grey lobes constant width? Matt had them flaring WAY too much in his first version.
