etc.

I was the first to suggest, in response to the query about H-less liquids
that glass was in fact a super-cooled liquid. It does flow at room temperature.
I received numerous flames, most suggesting that I was not playing with a full
deck. I think the many followup discussions have showed that glass can be
considered to be a liquid (depending on definition). Please people, before
you start flaming fellow posters for something that might be a matter of
definition, check it out first. I received a least 10 private letters 
suggesting that my intelligence was somewhat lacking for posting such an
absurdity.
