Let me repeat--you either buy the general premise of figs or you don't. It is apparent from the besides-the-point blathering from some of you that you don't. That's fine, but just say so. A frigging run-up, for but one example, is already built into the system.

Jesus, sometimes this place has the density of a black hole.

Please don't generalize 'this place' based on one poster, albeit a poster with an excess of 28K posts.

After all, every village needs an idiot and with RIOT gone AWOL, she's earned it.

i thought the point of coming here was to blather?
and i was referring to the run up in regards to those who mention differing times, not for beyers. if you look at my posts, you'll see i was discussing the times.

I don't care who buys in to what. But if you are going to discuss something, it would be helpful to first understand it. A difference of opinion does not bother me--stupidity does. As an example, if you buy into the premise of BSFs AT ALL, there has to be a beaten lengths conversion--it is not just a shiny doodad thrown out there to amuse the masses, like some long lost Kardashian sister. It is an essential element.

The rest of this pointless. The four quotes below are there for a reason--one or more of them is invariably implicated in any online discussion. So far we have the 1-3 exacta covered. I know some of you can hit the super.
