Herringbone is superior in every respect: 1. Lighter (less

expansion/contraction. Christian.


I absolutely agree christian, I believe they work as racking
strut far more than a full depth timber strut, Ive had many
complaints in the past of full depth struts causing squeaking,
this is mainly due to caps that can occur in wide timber, the
herringbone rules this out completely as its fitted tightly
from top to bottom and vice versa, its a no brainer


you need a sane portal to this newsgroup. The one you're using
isn't.

I see your reply appeared on the web page but I wonder how long
will it will stay there. Do their mods censor replies they don't
like?

I replied to tabbypurr on the web page, saying that as Vince didn't see that
he was replying 10 years too late he wouldn't understand "portal" or
"newsgroup", but as my text included "HomeOwnersClub is an evil organisation
that steals posts from other groups", I doubt it will be approved. It looks
like their mods didn't understand "portal" either.


They are evil because they provide such a crap interface and resurrect
ancient messages to generate traffic. I don't see how they can "steal"
something that was freely given and in the public domain.
