Your post here Jonathan was totally uncalled for in my oppinion and showed a
lack of respect which truely shocked me and resulted in my first and so far
only flame message on LUGNET directed toward anyone.
I don't think it took much thought to realize that Tore had more important
things on his mind then to design some parts for LDraw. Now I don't know you
except from your posts here but I assume you don't have children otherwise I
would hope you would have not posted this message.

Please listen to this one Jonathan. I had no idea you had no LEGO and could
not believe you were attempting parts without a piece in hand. Now I have not
ever attempted to design a part but it seems logical to me that you would need
the part in hand to do a satisfactory job.
Now although I love LDraw there is no substitute for building with actual LEGO
bricks. I understand that it may be cost prohibitive for you but at least try
and save and buy a couple of small sets so you can experiment with actual
bricks there is nothing like it. :)

This is probably your biggest mistake. I am sure that if I were writing this
and refering to you as "johnathin" that you would not be happy. This is an
easy one to fix to just look at the composer of the message and there you go.
