(...) This sounds like a very cool project, and it would make a great display, but not a good competition. The problem is Wayne's module depends on both Ka-On's AND David's module. If either doesn't work, the whole thing doesn't work. It would be (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) See Iain, i do post! But just not too much in rtlT-Dot. People like Ben and I weren't accepted so we moved on. I still post though: (URL) i do keep-up on what's going on with the rtl group. It's good to be remembered! Thanx, --==Richard==-- (20 years ago, 9-Jan-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) And this is why we need folks like rtlToronto. I can not recall even *one* time, in weeks of discussion and probably close to 100 emails, that any of us *ever* hit upon the marginally tasteless implications of bunches of AFOLers trading balls.
