Couldn't be less useful.

Could you elaborate on that? Why don't you see them as being very useful?

I think it's because I always think things should be "closed up". If I was say
building a truck and putting fairings on the side I'd build it from bricks and
plates so it would be rectangular, you' can't do that with the old fairings.

I wasn't referring to the old fairings. I was referring to the new fairings.
Being that they have pin holes on both ends, I would have thought they gave you
more of an opportunity to "close up". They could be used in co-operation with
old fairings, or with bricks and plates, or by themselves. I think they provide
a good option for rounded edges over long areas, fuel tanks, panelling and
more...

(...) He's not saying the new ones are less useful, He's saying the new ones couldn't be worse than the old ones. In other words, the old ones are a useless as they could be. (16 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.technic)
