nice to see, mark, that an Art History major can learn how to google, but
it
shows once again that a tiny bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. Your
explanation is all over the place and shows you lack a basic understanding
of
the issue. kinda sad, too, because it is not particularly difficult.

Jax,

I am SOOO ashamed! Is it that obvious that my background in electronics and
programming has not prepared me for these difficult mechanical topics?

As you can see that I am need of you expert guidance; please enlighten me in
the ways of flying rope. You state that it is really quite simple so you
should have no trouble laying it out. Be detailed, as I clearly don't have a
clue, and I seem to have trouble connecting the dots.

You noted that google is not really showing that you know things yourself,
so feel free to demonstrate your knowledge and use you own words.

Unless of course, you really have no clue in how these things work.

P.S. My 10 cents says that Jax runs away in fear - I expect some sort of
non-committal statement and nothing more on the topic! Anybody want to take
that bet?
