Hi Gerry,

Thanks for jumping into the defacto "symmetrical handles" thread. As a casual user I thought it might be a case of toggling the the control point to switch between symmetrical modes, so it wouldn't be a big deal for users to undo the symmetricality when necessary. For nodes in close proximity, I guess that's no real difference to what we have now, except that (as you suggest) the symmetrical mode may not be of use in such a situation.

As for the complexity of adding symmetrical handles, I think that as a user and as a software devloper I can't really see much difference between dragging on one point to move a pair of points and dragging on one point and then another to do the same thing.
As a developer (as I have already intimated I'd just be looking at introducing the movement of the second handle myself, rather than insist the user drag it independently).

I appreciate your and Johns input.
