  • I use GD&T on all my drawings, including 100% of my hole callouts. However I'm one of the more enthusiastic adopters of ASME Y14.5 at the place I work. Therefore, I get what your saying regarding the tolerance range, but since most of my coworkers are still relying on block tolerances, I'll refer to a .010" positional tolerance as a "+/- .005" equivalent" in conversation so there is no miscommunication. I can see how this is not the norm.

  • Eh, if someone tells me to reduce a tolerance from 5 to 10 thou at work, it's understood that it's +/-5 and 10. I don't think I've ever heard someone use the full range of a tolerance in conversation. If the tolerance isn't bilateral, it would be said like plus 5, minus zero. Anyways, +/- .0005" is our standard tolerance on the span of all dowel hole pairs.

  • I don't see anywhere in the article where Musk says "tolerance". He specifically says "accuracy" and goes on the talk about listing more decimal places instead of rounding. Any mention of tolerance is done by the author of the article. If certain dimensions are not naturally rounded to one, or even two decimals, there is no reason not to list it to three or more on modern drawings. GD&T can specify whatever tolerance is necessary without relying on a decimal-based block tolerance. I'd be interested in seeing the original email but it seems like there is a misunderstanding by the author given the context being discussed.

    I default to three decimal places for all my basic dimensions on both in and mm drawings. One of the benefits of GD&T is that you can give provide additional dimensional accuracy, completely independent of the tolerance being specified.

  • You say there's nothing thing to worry about because you're narrowing your focus to one specific week of high activity. If this is the week the Reddit API changes took effect, this is the week I migrated over and I haven't logged into Reddit since. However, there has been some growing pains and with intermittent issues on different instances, I ended up creating accounts on multiple servers that week. I've only commented using this one so far but I appreciate having the others logged in on Jerboa so I can jump between them. Sometimes this is necessary when servers go down temporarily. So far, these other accounts are just for lurking but they can clearly be captured in your net of possible "bots". I think you are greatly underestimating the number of legit accounts you are sweeping up. One thing I have not seen from your posts is any evidence from of malicious activity on these accounts. Therefore, I don't agree with pressuring admins to terminate these accounts in bulk. I would prefer to see action based on truth rather than baseless speculation. What's wrong with removing accounts only if they ever become a problem?
