Chuck, it's because the arc of the radius of the agraffe in conjunction with a superposition of the number of coils on the pin after the beckets are aligned with Mars on the cusp of Taurus, all pointing to 3:00, squeeze the heck out of the pin as it leans backward to avoid flagpoling. C'mon, man, look at the charts. Do the math. Obviously you aren't one of those who, as Nossman claims, is attempting to be at least minimally accurate and rational. And yes, it can be a disorder. :-) P In a message dated 10/8/2009 9:47:07 P.M.

Why are size 2 pins that I buy from Schaff .282 in diameter, and not .281? Look at the sequence for pins - .276, .282, .286, .291, .296, .301. Size 2 should be .281, shouldn't it? Why isn't it? Please give an answer that makes sense, someone. Chuck Behm -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
