Oh, I'm not saying they're a mistake as such. More of a gamble, really. We're making the effort of adding them and trying to make them as usable as possible without knowing if anyone will ever actually take the bait. As you say, it's a learning experience, too, so I don't really regret adding them. I'm just feeling a tiny bit guilty because it means more work for MikeJ and you, as well, although you weren't asked when the decision first was made.

In retrospect, I think a better approach would have been to wait until someone made working second-skin stockings and requested toecaps to go with them, then make them as props first. If those turned out to be hugely popular, that would be the right time to include them into the base figure. And that's the lesson I learned, really - if a new feature is requested, go for a kludge first, and if it turns out that that kludge is used a lot, make it better and eventually integrate it into the main engine. It's how I try to develop software as well: avoid features that won't be used, even if the client specifically asks for them.
