All this is well and good but. as a newcomer just getting to wrap his head
around all that indoor is, I hope you all don't start making changes to the

still working on getting my duration time up without spending a lung and an
eye on "special materials".

Why limit types of bracing? Let people use what they have on-hand whether
they use wire, thread, boron - should it matter if the intent is to make EZB
more attractive?
