	- an interesting principle, the - or at least an - exact
	inverse of the principle used to make first evaluations
	of the designs of such aeroplanes, as the vickers-super-
	marine spitfire and the de haviland mosquito: that their
	lines were so beautiful, they *had* to be right...

	- extending the length of this thread in tempora, i can
	cope with; in quality (or width), however...

	- hah!  it's clear enough from that description, you're
	no denetzen of rasff, rasfwr - or, more rewardingly, afp!

	- good, good; it's nice to see a little unwarranted blind
	faith and optimism in the face of all experience, the gods,
	and the fates..

	                     - and the kindly ones...   *g*

	- ah; that means i'd about caught up with reading news at
	the time, and so used snews rather than protext, with which
	to fashion and fettle my response. not necessarily a red-
	letter day, but perhaps something of a rarity, nevertheless.

	- i like the conceit, even if the specific example passes
	me by - i'm a cider, wine or spirits-drinker, where ethyl
	alcohol be concerned; not a lover of the hopped heresy.

	- love, ppint.
