RE: [TCML] comment about new coilers

["Lau, Gary" <Gary.Lau@xxxxxx>]

Hi Miles,

I don't get your point.  I don't think there's a one among us, myself included, who early in our coiling experience, hasn't spent money on something that ultimately proved to be useless for coiling.  How is it we're making it too easy?  There's no doubt that Scott has learned about what kind of NST to use.  I believe that the replies to his post have included scientific explanations as to why the current NST is unsuitable.  Teaching science is what this list is all about!
