As best I can tell, Mike is merely suggesting an alternative approach to one part of the G, which, if memory serves, was a group build project taken up by a DIY community, which is normally open to all sorts of variations.

Your tone strikes me as rather combative through this thread. Whether you have an ongoing beef with Mike or dislike mods to your design or both I don't know, but I'd bet no one else here is interested in it. ART was formed to provide a civilized alternative to the edgy and sometimes downright rude "discussion" found elsewhere. This doesn't seem to fit that mold.

Why not just let the experimenters experiment without all the vitrole?
