Re: [ATM] 6-pole

["Lawrence D. Lopez" <lopez@mv.mv.com>]

6 poles completely define the position.
8 poles over constrain the position.

What this means in English is that for 6 poles they can be of any size.
For 8 poles the last length of the last 2 are already defined.
So if something changes in length, say the rocker box, a stress will be 
created.

Personally I don't expect there would be much of a difference.

At least for me, I'd never get the pole length right anyway.
