well ... thanks for that kidneyboy. I think I saw you posting over there these last few days.

Its been quiet over here on this forum with all that going on.

Where have we come .. we've gone from jeers about MBB being inefficient to jeers about proof for claims its more efficient. We have some saying we're crazy because upper body doesn't mean anything and other saying we're crazy cause all bents have upper body involvement. We've had sermons on the strength of 2 homemade bents and other sermons arguing the physics without any direct experience to structure the model.

So its all been rather bizzare, really.

I've sensed support in the background and through a lot of positive and encouraging posts. Thanks for taking the trouble to lob in here and say hi.

 

[kidneyboy]

i hope you fill your trophy case while the jeers and arguments continue.

Thanks for your encouragement, Chuck,

I am reminded of two quotes:

"Nobody cares as much about your [stuff] as much as you do."

"The cutting edge is where all the bleeding occurs."

We'll keep keeping on. Thanks for chiming in.

Best,

Doug
