[simpits-tech] Requests for measurements - SHAME ON YOU

[Ben Jones]

Andre,

Whell, you post perplexes me a little bit ,

I find that all the people i corrospond with through the simpits group are
more than helpfull in giving dimentions ,design, and ideas.

If your referring to the lack of dimentions and nicely drawn out " ready to
print out plans " on members websites........there might be several reasons
for that :
1: We are usually to busy to sit down and draw complex cad plans to "pop
onto our web sites "
2: Some of us dont have the experience to design and maintain web sites that
will give you a "errection" faster than viagra,
3: Alot of the stuff we design and make there is no plans avaliable , it in
our head ....
4: Refer to previous points 1 + 2  + 3
