Um........Chris 
Actually, i dont recon thats abusive enough for the 'other list' - anyway, all the people that dont like you have gone away with their heads hung in
shame, so you could now Chris.........
Peter Ogden has woken up though to the news he now has three locost lists to his name, and is rattling his sabre slightly.
Thats not rude btw

I agree with Steve - just leave the other group alone to sort themselves out. It's interesting that this little spat fizzled out within a day or so
- most people made a point of not getting involved and perpetuating the row.
I also agree that people (like me) can be members of both lists without any conflict.
The 2 stroppy owner/moderators seem to have gone, so things may quieten down. I've had dealings with Peter Ogden in the past - seems like a
gentleman, so let's not give him a hard time, eh?
Good grief, I've agreed with Steve on three counts - that's a first!

Yep, but you are after me sending you a copy of that software manual
When I was involved in hassle on tother list in the past, the only moderator with any reason or 'go' in him was mr Ogden, and he seemed fair and
sensible. So, there's an agreement back at cha.

Good Theory.

4 fox sake, I see what you mean about Wally. From what I read of his posts he has contributed nothing useful to the list. Just being bitchy to
everyone with all that back talk, justifying his existence and all that. What was that wee about aliens, does he know what a Locost is, I think not.
But I guessed his job, thought it would either be traffic cop or IT. IT it was. No-one else can be that much of a tosser and work anywhere else. No
offence to anyone working in IT on this list, but from my experiences with my own company IT group I know these guys are on a constant power trip.
Never have the works of 'Dilbert' been so true.

Wally admitted I think to having the inch square tubing in his swept garage at the point he was made a temporary moderator. Does that count?
DonDavis to me is worse, cos hes just a sarchastic critical obnoxious human being. Theres a fantastic post from him in the USA group about making up
the front trapezoidal frame.
Shame he's not a more talkative nice guy - the ford merkur 2.3l turbo motor he's using seems really interesting
Anyway, room for all I recon. Even the less worthy.

Steve,
Read the sarcastic posts, some folk can be right wankers. Although I haven't seen pics of yours I think using square tubes for wishbones is an
excellent idea, comparing like for like they would be approx 25% heavier than round but would be 70% stiffer. I'm now considering using square for
the rear wishbone.

Yeah - how I would have loved to have given Donny both barrels in reply - but gotta be nice
You have to remember that my wishbones will be covered by a wing (Morgan like) so it dont matter what they look like. However, I recon they would look
quite nice if chromed -mine are painted black.
I am not too happy the way the top ones turned out, so im going to do them again.
My car uses rod ends (rose joints). The plan is to get two 25mm x 25mm x 35mm steel blocks machined and tapped M16. These are the ends of the
'bones' at the pivot point where they thread to the rose joints. At the Transit rod end, I plan to get a similar block, tapped M18 x 1.5 fine, and
weld at an angle, ala MK indy 'bones. I recon thats gonna be really strong and look quite nice - till it gets painted black!
Go and be different!
