For this thread, I take it?

Ran into Bezier curves last night when poking around in my quadrotor’s autonomous waypointing routines.

Yes. But what puzzles me is that I wasn’t on CD at 10:55 this morning, so I’m puzzled how this thread got started.

Thread’s about white papers and photos get created automatically when someone first replies to them.

There’s a 22-minute time difference. When I first saw the new thread, only post#1 was there. Maybe that’s normal? No big deal, just wondering.

It’s possible that someone went to post a reply, thought better of it, and then someone else posted the first reply. The usual memo on pictures (and papers) is something about “This will start a new thread. You are expected to reply.” and a yes/no option, but it’s happened that some threads don’t get responded to.

Yea, I hit ‘respond’ and then got pulled somewhere else because I’m at work.

Mystery solved. Thanks.
