Hi Paul
yes Leonhardt is a little fiddly. But I have to finish a $30M pipe cost estimate this arvo, so I can start a plant shutdown plan tomorrow. And you think you have problems.

Perhaps you could try the same approach used by golf clubs here; it costs very little to join, but the following years subs are higher. Could you give them a six month trial period at a nominal sum and then belt them for the full worth, plus clawback, once the hits are on record?

Cheers

Steve

Steve, the reference you refer to is a complicated and obsessive study of how much soil can be squished, n'est-ce pas? My problem is that I think this is a cool thing to think about. But then again, I'm pretty much a dork when it comes to these type of things.

No wonder nobody wants to pay for that type of study, they can just go into their backyard and squoosh earthworms and write down the results.

I've started to squoosh the marketing departments of companies that would be appropriate sponsors for this site, but apparently most of them are squoosh-proof and would rather spend $10,000 on tiny magazine ads that don't reach their target market.

Bah, eventually Piping Design Central will kickass and have to turn away sponsors offering a hundred thousand dollars per year for their ads.

Most companies I've contacted want to see some marketing consultant's dubious statistics that are full of spin. I refuse to go that way and what you get is raw stats - and they are going up steadily.

I refuse to lie so I'm probably getting screwed in the short term. And I feel a rant coming on so I'll just shut up now.
