You could fill a book with the number of possible causes this list came up with for Ed's latest 'adventure'. And that has hopefully been folded back in to positive steps that people who've been following can take to improve their success and reliability. One thing you could not be aware of is the latest discussion on forming and 'inspection' organization. The biggest objection to it has been the idea of 'approved systems'. Nobody wants it like that. It is a very independant group over here. As soon as someone comes up with an optimized cnc manifold, a few will buy it and a whole bunch of others will say they're trying something different. We're kinda weird like that. Go figure. -- This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
