Is a smidgin of professional behaviour too much to ask for? This isn't
a marital spat, man, this is a simple engineering enquiry. If you
committed an error, say so and get it over with, if not, then please
explain.

One might point out that this very issue has been discussed to death so many
times on this NG and others that perhaps Mr Brandt is bored of explaining it
by now.

Oh, I've glanced at those "explanations"; they are all befuddled and
obscured by the same laager-drawing of the claque as we're seeing
here.

If there were a sensible, comprehensible explanation, Jobst could have
given it to me at the first time of asking, in less time than he took
to write his blustering evasion.

We do not have a sensible, comprehensible question from you.

Try this, from my very first post in the thread:
"Hey, Jobst, on p39 of The Bicycle Wheel the graph appears to show the
impossibility of a spoke being compressed. Is this a misreading of
your graph, an error by the illustrator Sherry Sheffield, a
misrepresentation of the true data calculated, an error in the formula
you worked with, or simply a boo-boo by you-you yes you?"

Ditch the high-tone language.

Why, thank you, sonny, but I just speak as I am.

Delineate the question. Precision, accuracy, clarity, completeness.

Absolutely. Couldn't agree more. Let's try again:
"Hey, Jobst, on p39 of The Bicycle Wheel the graph appears to show the
impossibility of a spoke being compressed. Is this
a) a misreading of your graph,
b) an error by the illustrator Sherry Sheffield,
c) a misrepresentation of the true data calculated,
d) an error in the formula you worked with, or
e) simply a boo-boo by you-you yes you?"

What exactly in _The_Bicycle_Wheel_ do you find
does not conform with your conception of a spoked bicycle wheel.

The impossibility of a bicycle spoke compressing as shown on p39 of
The Bicycle Wheel where the graph appears indeed to show the
impossibility of a spoke being compressed, precisely as I said in the
first sentence, and the headline of this thread.

You're pretty stupid, aren't you, Michael Press?

Slow, not stupid.
