Hi van der Laan:

For some time here on the forum there has been some differences of opinions on some subject like the lozenge fabric scheme and color. With no offense to Hal Oele as I don't know him but the photo you posted I believe don't belong to Hal Oele but Manfred T. As some of us know MT was band from the forum and Hal is a friend of MT that continue to voice MT's message. If I have this wrong then let me know. As far as that photo goes I think MT was trying to convey his design of the lozenge fabric scheme with out giving away what ever he has invented.

I thinks that over that past couple of year here some people have really open some of there collection like Greg VW, Stephen L., Taz, Dave Watts just to mention a few. I know I had a hard time in the beginning as I too found it that know one wanted to share information on what they knew or had. I to would like to have a "OPENSOURCE" reference here but I don't think we could convince everyone in contributing so I settle for what information I can weed out of the forum and injunction with making some good friends here that are the real experts in their field.

I don't think I could call myself a researcher if we had an "OPENSOURCE" venue, after all I do like the hunt in find out the information I'm looking for.

Lloyd...
