Yes, I also agree here. But do try with Lego in hand! Just don't push it
on the group if it doesn't pan out for you.

Yes, truthfully, your public math class isn't gaining you many friends here.

Correct....

Sounds like a good avenue to me.

Todd, you have rephrased what a few of us have said in flames into calm
phrases that make a lot of sense - and are probably taken more seroiusly
than the flames because of your tone.
Jonathan, I agree with Todd here. I would love to see quality parts by you
but now is apparently not the time for that. Practice the skills you need,
purchase or borrow some Lego, and work over email with one or two other
parts creators to masker the skills. Once you have an absolutely perfect
part to display, please, by all means post it. It will earn you much
respect here. But *please* don't practice openly and publicly on
lugnet.cad or lugnet.cad.dev
Keep Building!!
