The following thread was the original one for the Mirror Magnets during beta test.  You can look through it and see me fumbling through using it and my results.

I'm not great with magets, but at least now I understand the basic concept behind them, and given enough time, I can get reasonable results.  You will be able to too :)

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
