Jim, me too! I did read everything about the pros and cons of different lacing patterns, but skimmed the highly technical sections. Effects of tension and lacing patterns are all that's important! I've boiled it down to straight, 3-cross and 4-cross as the only necessary patterns, set to 80-100% recommended tension! That's IT!
It's like they say, it's not how much you have memorized, but whether or not you know where to look it up for reference! Whew! That's very good for me, because to learn something new and commit to memory means I have to shove some other little tid-bit of info out of my head to make room!
