to Bill,

Except that you CLEARLY posted/replied to me, not Bill:

And you sir, replied to me as I had posted a reply to Bill. So - it's good
for you and not for others?

For some things - agreed. Very much so. For other things - not so
much. Some things are purely utilitarian, and detail be damned. For
example - I
need a sawhorse now. I can spend all kinds of time designing and
creating the perfect sawhorse, or I can crudely knock one together
to get the job done. Who really cares if it has any usefullness
beyond the next 20 hours? I simply need to get this done. So -
there is a simple case where ability and capability, accompanied by
a modicum of experience, result in perfection in time of need. Not
at all elegant. Might even end up in the burn pile at the end. So
what? Didn't need art.
You just described the importance of using a design tool, which
was why it was so exciting to me to get my hands on an easy to
use design tool like Sketchup when it first became available.
Inarguable when it comes to the stuff you normall deal in. Different
though, when dealing with utilitarian stuff.


Make a detailed plan, and execute the plan, and you can win wars
and build skyscrapers.
Only if the skyscraper actually ever begins to be built.

IOW, YOU replied to MY post to Bill with a bunch of qualifiers, and
you're going to what??:

Well, then... just what was it I said in that reply that was so bothersome
to you Karl? Or was it simply that I replied?


I'm going to call bull****
on you on that one.

Marlow, simply go **** yourself.

I'll stand second in line Karl, after you.
