Hi guys, apparently I am still on the list, which I don't mind because
it's good to keep up with whats going on :) But feel free to remove me
if you'd prefer to.

Anyway, I just wanted to post here to see if I still have posting
permission, and to comment on this part:

1. On my connectors the lines do not coincide, and the angle is sharp
enough to go with a type 2 in both cases (The 2 & 3 planes look about
parallel to the 4 plane).
2. Even in your version, the area is so small, and it's a concave angle,
even though the plugs all seem to be transparent (so far), I would not
bother to make this a conditional because seeing it will be very rare
indeed. If the curve is smooth enough to only require a conditional, I
would not have any line at all.
