Agreed.
Unfortunately, I don't see this thread as "working toward a common goal".
Instead what I see is that J2 has went to every post that he didn't agree
with and tried to refute it, point by point. If someone were trying to
hypothetically gather information in order to *understand* the cross section
of opinions out there, that's not the way that one ought to go about doing
it, one ought to listen instead of try to rebut and impose one's own opinions.
I will say this. One good suggestion that this thread has raised is to
reconsider the design of new elements that have bilateral symmetry. These
should be released as half elements instead so that the width is no longer
so strongly dialed in. (the many multislope cockpit bottoms and tops ought
to be split down the middle so one doesn't have to make a 4 wide or 6 wide
(or whatever width the designer wanted for his design) creation from it)
