Definitely amazing work for those teams. As soon as I saw pictures of 2337, I knew what they were trying to provide for would-be hangers. It's not obvious that ANY hanger could suspend from 2337, but they wouldn't have to reach the platform height to be suspended. That means that some single strand hangers might not get to slide along the pole(s). That seems to get all their wheels off the mat.
It almost inspires me to try fantasy matchup match-making. 2337 + ??? + ??? versus 469 + ??? + ???. Winning alliance might be the one that scored the most autonomous balls, subsequently starving the rest of the field while they recirculate, pong-style in their own zone.
Truly listening to the wealth of advice around you is so important. Don't work in a vacuum all season long. - OZ_341 [more]
