It appears you can write to read, Bert. But your ability to deduce what others wrote, and independently reason, is hampered by you thinking in one dimension. Too bad.
Please, Bert. Refrain form disrespecting others with name calling. Read your COE.
Gutters and drip edge are applied to different substrates and are (2) different components to divert liquid.
Gutters for the most part, are applied to eave fascia.
Drip Edge Flashing is applied to roof sheathing.
Correct me if I am wrong.
As for gutter with built in drip edge. I have only seen one style of gutter that could be considered close to what you are trying to describe which is a louver gutter or a louvered roof drainage system. Brand name. RainHandler. Rainhandler gutters return roof runoff liquid into rain size drops which fall naturally to the ground to prevent rutting to evenly distribute roof water to the soil or landscaping below the roof line. Google it.
Again, a knee jerk reaction I suspect. Learn to be flexible.
Slope ‘is calculated.’… by discovering the ratio of the ‘vertical change’ as compared to the ‘horizontal change’ between any ‘(2) distinct points’ on a line.
So your slope is constant theory is poorly built.
You are such a dope it never ceases to amaze me.
Stop dictating how members should act towards you.
Clean up your own act & things might change. No one will accept your well earned WAFI-chucklehead act.

Bert. If you wish to succeed, act professional. Until then, it’s all the same tomfoolery.
Too bad.
So sad a member.
You have it mistaken, as/per usual Mr. Goldenberg.
The message broad replies by members exhibits how that member acts openly/publickly without hesitation. It’s not about me. It’s about how others copying/imitating rude behavior.
Much Like Yourself, Goldenberg. An association volunteer exhibiting ethical violations and rude behavior.
Now that is sad. Truly.
I am still awaiting a gutter with incorporated drip-edge.
Also slope is constant.
Constant: ‘occurring continuously over a period of time.’
Mathematical: a quantity or parameter that does not change its value whatever the value of the variables, under a given set of conditions.
Whats wrong? Cat got your tongue?
You are a scam WAFI low life liar.
Would you like me to prove it & put up links to show you’re a Jew hater among other things… … …

I gave you a taste of your own medicine. It’s not OK to attribute a quote to someone using your own mistaken words. You obviously didn’t like it as evidenced by your response that is it unprofessional, tomfoolery, and just sad. So in the future do not put your own misguided words in quotes and attribute it to me.

You are arguing simple math with a mechanical engineer. I already told you that the slope does not depend on the length of the gutter. If your gutter is 20 ft long or 30 ft long, the slope should be about 1/4" per foot. A longer gutter will need more drop from end to end than a shorter gutter, but the slope will be the same. I don’t know how to make that idea any simpler for you so I am going to leave this conversation. If you respond, you will be alone, arguing to yourself. Adding to this thread is not productive use of time.
WAFI quote
Your highly educated background, to mine. Someone that did not graduate high school
Those are not my words. The author states, "Multiply the number of feet by 1/16 inch ‘to determine’ the total slope the gutter requires’ is an approximate calculation.
As for Slope is constant? I did not find one relevant article to your quote.
We can find the slope of a line on a graph by counting off the rise and the run between two points. … **This ratio is constant only between any two points along a straight line, which means that the slope of a straight line is constant, too, no matter where it is measured along the line.
(This is algebra) variables, equations, functions, graphs, and more.
Bert. I am not arguing with you. Discussions are for learning.
You are a mechanical engineer.
Here is the COE from NSPE. Code of Ethics for Engineers.
III. Professional Obligations
- Engineers shall be guided in all their relations by the highest standards of honesty and integrity.
a. Engineers shall acknowledge their errors and shall not distort or alter the facts.
f. Engineers shall treat all persons with dignity, respect, fairness, and without discrimination.
Maybe an engineering article would go along way in providing your side of the discussion deserves merit.
