Modeling's important, of course, but do you really want extensive silly
discussion of rivets versus tubing clamps, or ways of polishing aluminum on
this list, or serious discussions like one on the 43-foot vertical to be
here rather than there?
Another issue, IMO, is that fragmentation into multiple reflectors tends to
lose information that otherwise would be archived in one place. I find it
pretty easy just to delete the noise on Towertalk, particularly if people
remember to change the subject line.
