I find this amusing fasteddy,you say I'm disposable,abrasive,narrow gauge and naive.I say I'm helpful,accurate and specific.I can't be helpful unless I'm accurate and I can't be accurate unless I'm specific.I suspect people want accurate, specific answers when they ask questions.Magoo asked a question and I gave him a "narrow gauage" kind of answer.He liked it.I like my posts to have a logical progression.

As to your implied advice to set my spokes by sound,I do not claim to be a wheel tech,much less a "master".I could learn from one,but to blindly imitate, armed with little specific knowledge would be folly.They learned their craft over many years and countless wheels.They have accrued skills that make it look easy.I doubt it would be so for someone unskilled like myself.Seems logical, doesn't it? I have to get it right the first time I do it and that quest led me to this forum and specifically to this thread.I think LeeN and Magoo are logical,intelligent members of this forum,I'm sure there must be others.

P.S. If this post seems narcissistic,it is.Hopefully I will stay out of Phil's dog house.
