Stupid Question???? Re: Tubing size.

[Dr Goggles]

I enjoyed going back over that thread. There was a lot of really good information. The one thing I found frustrating was that Panic only left his posts up for a limited length of time and then deleted them. As I remember, they really did contribute to the discussion but it spoils the integrity of the topic when they're allowed to be removed. For that reason I'd like to see an even shorter time allowed for revisions to posts so that spelling and phrasing errors can be corrected or small additions made but that wouldn't allow removal of the basic post. I'm not sure it's possible but it's something to think about.

I am the opposite, I would rather see you able to edit indefinately but post with a freaking spine and not delete comments! Works fine on the other dozen or so boards I visit. 


I am also a proponent of the search. You are right, tons of good info in that thread.

there was another poster here who had some program that deleted his posts after a week or some pre-set time. Just a pest.

  The inspector that tested my cage showed me a piece of tube he carried, that had been bent, then cut in half.
The inside radius was visibly thicker than nominal and the outside was thinner. By my SWAG the amount of material seemed to be about the same. In Willie's chart it only thinned by .002 to .003 with no measurement of the inside radius. Personally I don't think .002 would be visible. YMMV

Yes I know, look at the start of my Lakester thread

Ron, I simply want to know WITH MY OWN EYES. Since I have plenty of scrap I only fine it prudent to check it out.
