This has been hanging around for some time. I've just noticed it again...

It must have been a frustrating experience.
This is a good account and might be useful to other would be inventors.
The question is, is the AWW the right place for it? Strictly speaking, the EG is for objective factual pieces. Have you been told this is too much of a personal account to go there?
We do everything else, from personal accounts to poetry but we tend to look for literary style, so we couldn't promise that it would go on the Underguide.

This is neat and interesting.
It's factual and informative, but also personal. I know would love it.

I distinctly remember having read this before, and some discussion about it, did you submit it to PR back then? Or did you put it on Ask or something?
would be delighted to publish it.

Yes, it was in PR and judged too personal, so i put it somewhere safe, nottfer review, while I thought about it, then promptly forgot all about it until now, doing some spring cleaning.
The Post, eh? never thought about that.
Give me a nudge in another year, eh?

Cheers, Rod! I'm glad my memory isn't as bad as I thought - I seem to still recall the important things.
(Oh, and good call there, dmitri. )
