Congratulations. Dante also began his poem with himself in mid-life.

"What a chilling and tragic thread! Eyewitnesses to history. What started out as a routine viewing of the shuttle changed in moments to terrible despair. May all seven aboard rest in peace.
(BTW...this thread is reminiscent of the radio reports on the VonHindenberg disaster, decades ago.)"

There is probably no way of knowing but if I had to guess I would say that your post at #125 on the original thread had something to do with inspiring Tom Kuntz and how he began and wrote his article.

The place is an institution, I tell ya. And I always say, it's usually better to be an institution than to be in an institution.

I like Usenet and FR forum type websites for a number of reasons - the beautiful thing about the internet is it is similar to a global library. If I have a question about something - anything - say, hanging dry-wall, making wine, setting the timing on an old straight-six, making a deck, etc. whatever, someone likely has already asked the question and likely it is archived.
Second, and this is key, - human nature being what it is, most knowledgeable people, truly knowledgeable, cannot *stand* to have bogus or incorrect information or data put out. So someone will be along shortly to set everything straight if a poster puts out clearly erroneous dope - one can "read between the lines" on 50 to 75 replies on a given subject and rapidly become smart on a subject - smart enough to make an informed decision anyway.

Yep. Knew when the thread was going that morning that it was indeed something special.

Hope we don't have to kick them out now that they are in the leftist "Newspaper of Record"... :-)
</ just kidding>
This guy's name is really Tom Kuntz?? Man, I'm glad I didn't have that name in my school days...
Ben Dover would have been better.
