Can I make a couple other constructive suggestions?--
6. Think more, post less.
7. Stop being rude and disrespectful to people. Messages like these:
http://www.lugnet.com/cad/?n=2320
http://www.lugnet.com/cad/dev/?n=2520
http://www.lugnet.com/starwars/?n=3213
have the long-term cumulative effect of everyone either despising you or
ignoring you, or eventually in everyone turning against you and formally
asking you to leave the group or groups.
8. Lose the negative attitude. Messages like these:
http://www.lugnet.com/cad/dev/org/ldraw/?n=439
http://www.lugnet.com/cad/dat/parts/?n=321
suggest that your heart isn't in this.
9. Buy a couple actual LEGO sets. Build with LEGO. Play with LEGO. Get
on a Jambalaya list or something. Expose yourself to a wider variety of
parts.
10. Swear up and down never ever again model a LEGO piece (even a mock-up)
without having it in hand. Also, never cause anyone to believe (even
accidentally through careless wording or ambiguitites) that you are
modeling pieces blindly again. Don't write confusing things which
prompt steaming responses like these:
http://www.lugnet.com/starwars/?n=3286
http://www.lugnet.com/cad/dev/?n=2476
where people misunderstand your intentions. Be clear in each post, what
you are talking about.
11. Learn to spell Terry's name (it has two r's, not one).
