Absolutely not.  The only thing true is that one stooge (ahem... me) was
trying to irritate another stooge (ahem.... you) by spreading vicious
rumors and lies.  Sorry.  :)  I thought that "conspiracy" comment would let
you know I was telling a boldface lie.

I think you are correct that as much as we have discussed the various other
aspects of cabinet construction, this is one that has been ignored.  I can
think of only two ways to attach the center rail to the cabinet side. One
is a corner brace or "L" bracket as you have suggested.  I think this is
about as good an idea as anything (especially since Paul has planned for
the rails to have a longer trailing edge).  Another idea if you are willing
to scrap part of the end of your rail would be to drill, or otherwise cut a
slot into the end of the wood that the rail would fit into.  This has three
big drawbacks. 1. hard to change later; 2. rail must be installed when the
cabinet is built; 3. could get to be a real bitch if you are planning a
magic bus.

Perhaps there are some other good ideas out there.  Hint Hint.

I exchanged e-mail with Kevin Lightner yesterday.  He has a Moog slant face
cabinet in the shop right now and offered to take any measurements or
photos we might like to have.  He also granted permission to use any of his
photos to the list for the purpose of cabinet construction (although it is
probably as easy for one to just go look at his site).

JB, you have my public apology for acting too stooge-like on the list
