Hi Michael,

I tried the other method a few times and can see the benefit of removing a joint with control points turned off and using 3 tightly grouped points on each side of the seam point, before removing it, but in practicality, I realized that with the most of the designs I do, I will place a corner point where I want to define the start of a new surface but with that, I either draw straight continuous lines or graceful flowing curves without tightly angled transitions as in Jonah's example. If I remove points to adjust an irregular transition in a curve or remove a seam point, I'm usually editing the shape from a broader perspective anyway, so it seems more efficient for me to keep the control points on, to take out a seam. It's helpful to know how to do it the other way, too. So thanks, now I know there's a method to my madness. :-)

Regards,
Jesse
