Yup, I"m not sure exactly what happened there. The moderator logs show that I merged some posts to this "Thread for your conduits with active objects uncommonly used in conduits" -- but then these posts showed up in their own separate thread, and didn't seem to get merged.
Sorry about the confusion. I think things are back to normal now.
Until a "B-turner" gets a lot more mainstream -- i.e., until there are conduits that can output a B-turner with reasonable clearance -- conduits with B-turner inputs don't seem to belong on the Still-Life Factories thread, any more than they belong in the Elementary Conduits thread.
I'm hoping people interested in B-turner research can get in the habit of picking a thread like this one, or the
"speculative" thread, to post things like this.
I've been having to move a lot of posts recently, which is not really my job (since the conwaylife forums are really only "reluctantly moderated"). If possible, it's the job of the person posting to pay attention to where posts should go, especially after previous posts have gotten moved.
