Hello All,
While I really treasure the intellectual discourse that
predominates the discussion (most of the time) on the Sundial List, I do
appreciate the occasional announcement of a new dial for sale. Since we
are presumably engaged in developing "real" dials, as opposed to the more
commonly encountered non-dials, I see the announcement of a completed design to
be as important as the discussion of theory along the way. I like to see
what the rest of you are up to, and I especially like to see good ideas
manifested...whether they are for sale or not.
A good example of the kind of "commercial" announcement
I would accept is the recent posting by Bill Gottesman announcing his focussing
dial. I really enjoyed seeing that dial, and I personally didn't mind the
way that it was respectfully reported to the list with a link for more
information.
I think that there is a naturally limiting factor involved
with any commercial announcements as well...which is to say that the submission
had better be technically correct and well executed...to be worthy of submission
to this intellectual group. That implied standard promotes excellence in
my view - I would personally post only my best work.
