PM>BK> Actually, I am undaunted. I realize that under the carefully

PM> [Watch yourself, Knight: my dictionary defines �poppet� as "a rising
PM> and falling valve consisting of a disc at the end of a vertically
PM> set stem, used in internal-combustion and steam engines" - dating
PM> from 1300-1350 Middle English, as an earlier form of �puppet�]

With respect, sir, you need to update your technical dictionary. Take it
from this qualified steam locomotive engineer: poppet valves have, since
the middle of this century, danced both up and down _and_ sideways. I'm
sure that exercising Maxe requires no less.
