Can I ask where you distinguish your interpretation versus last week's "fork" answer? I understand the search for clarity in newer answers*, but I can't find the necessary lack of clarity in it to support additional interpretations of this.
Q: If an extension forks outside of the frame perimeter, does it count as a single extension? For example, if 7" away from the frame, the appendage splits into two separate bars.
A. Only one appendage may extend beyond the Frame Perimeter. There are no rules prohibiting appendages that fork once outside the Frame Perimeter.
To me this would seem very strongly (i.e. barring [edit]finagling?[/edit]) to ban appendages that fork within the Frame Perimeter. Have I mistaken that?
