The thing that irks me about this, now that you've rephrased it, it just looks like reality, what a car would look like doing if it drove off a ramp for instance. the wheels won't stop spinning unless you hit the brakes.
Maybe I just need to see a visualization of your problem. On Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 6:38 PM, Walter Gray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Let me rephrase my question. First, I must apologize.
