[Rhodes22-list] Traveler, Slim's ? again

[ed kroposki]

Mr. Slim:
	The first part of old Roger's post is apparently what Wally has set
up without the additional engineering and expense and not knowing if all the
highly technical additions will really work.
	This is use a single contiguous line.  How long?  Take your two
current lines off, put them end to end, and get a new single, contiguous
line that length.  This is often referred to as the KISS principle.

Addendum:  "We won the race by twenty-three seconds, and two seconds after
we had crossed the line the mast snapped.  Which solved the problem of
stopping, anyway."  Philip Holland.

Thank you, Mark.  That's exactly what I was looking for.  Have you made this
modification?
