I wonder if there's a word that describes the noise camels (live ones) make?
There probably is a word in Arabic.
I get the impression that you two are using the same terms for different
things. Are you both thinking of a single column of Macs, one Mac wide and
any number tall? Or is someone perhaps thinking of a double-wide column?
Maybe it's time for ASCII art. I'm not volunteering.

LLRR
definitely wouldn't work. But LRLR will still tend to stray from
the vertical because the sloping tops all slope the same way. That is
why I suggested LRRL. This zigzag reverses the sideways displacement
that occurs in each pair of layers, thus rising vertically and being
therefore more stable than LRLR.
To flog a dead camel, and carry forward a pointless thread, I still don't
see how LRRL is any superior to LRLR. LRRL would be noticeably crooked,
and might not even stand.
