Scott please do away with the rating system.....

... up for anarchy. Anyone else?

well, i'm the one who says you can't overthrow the people (physical laws of thermodynamics type physics
metaphysics yeah--change away)

and i don't understand yer call for anarchy since the dot question is the only crux of the buscuit to me
and scotts is the only vote that counts
his call
fine with me either way

but yeah
let's storm the bastille
die monster die

(who we killin'? cops, wot?)

youtube that song 'cop killer' by ice T
(now he plays a cop on television)--no that's actually correct--unless the show got canceled
it'll rev us up

i'd say i'd want MORE rules against the borderline psychotics who come into every forum
but in here the non borderline ones would smirk
including me
how could i, in good conscience, vote for some wingnut who'd give ME a green star?
how would some poor admin enforce NON rules?
maddening enough with rules
how much you gonna pay THAT doomed babysitter?
maybe the dots are all he's got
whom i to snatch them away and let him die
all chewed to ribbons

Gill,
With seals, a rabbet (groove) in the wood would make a seat for the leather. Then when would is inserted into it, wedges could be used to make it rigid.
And it's always possible to use the same vacuum drawing the water up to reenforce the seals.
Each bellow could be made with a single piece of leather. And in those days, they might've known which trees or plants could be used for the tubes. You know, for his initial or test builds., possibly even some of his early builds. That'd be one way to save on how much work he had to do.
With his later builds, they would've been more involved.
One thing that is possible is that kids knew how to build things. You know, no wal-mart.

edit; Gill, one thing I noticed was how many hits on my thread, yet a few people had to take it over .........drizzle (said something)

excuse me, shneeve, but which thread is this?
just wanna be sure what topic i'm off


*****************

every one wants to enforce their own rules
and have none on themselves
clearly

how do you meld all that?

I vote that the rating system mirrors a more human/political/pride system and is OK.
Don't mind it at all.
