Yes, sharing the knowledge!

Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience it is necessary for us to do the opposite, that is to commence with experience and from this to proceed to investigate the reason.

Trakos is a Red Dracor, one of the great Warriors of the Dragons. Robboman is an old parody character, which I use as my username.

I used to sort of draw capital S 's that were linked together. But I think your method looks better. Thank you.

Yep, the effect is really similar - S's or C's and inverted C's ;) But the guidelines inbetween really help, I think. :)
