Scale Wars (3 Viewers)

After much conversation the Mod Council discerned that a special section for scale may cause more issues than it solves, since many scale conversations are company specific and fit naturally into those forums.

That's a tough gig. Bad enough talking about scale but talking about talking about scale!{sm4}

Why? Scale is important. Yes, I know it's tiresome (even to me) after awhile but it's not a trivial issue.

Twas merely a little joke to amuse myself while surrounded by work.

I think you've misunderstood my posts. My position is that recurring discussions about scale is a non-issue. I have no problem if people keep bringing up the question of scale, that is, I have made a conscious decision not to let it bother me. I am not in favor of adding yet another area to the forum. Based on the responses of some folks about the recurring discussions about scale, and how much it bothers them, creating a new section will just introduce a whole new irritant for them, as forum members continue to post discussions of scale everywhere else but the "Scale Discussion Forum".

Prost!

No probs Brad, I misunderstood one of Jaz's posts and got the wrong end of the stick....doh!

Like you I have a limited interest in the continuing scale discussions, but thought a new sub-section may help the Mods manage the discussions better rather then see them pop up all over the show, however I see your point.

I'm certainly not going to waste anymore time on the matter, it's doing my head in.

Cheers!

I think the discussions would probably go over better, with beer!

Of course, then we'd debate the scale of the beer. Do you get a pint, a half-liter, a liter, a quart......



Prost!

Now you're talking, beer solves everything. Different countries must vary a lot with sizing. We have standard drink volumes (metric) across Australians. It's the name for the sizes that causes debate. Standard glass of 285 ml (10 fl oz) here can be called; middy, half pint, handle, pot, schooner, ten (ounce) or half pint, depending on what state/city you are in. There's not much difference in regional dialects across Australia, but locals will know you're a visitor if you use the wrong term when ordering beer.
