Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] can I borrow a sub? I need some ballast

Carl,
I agree whole heartedly. I was simply taking a
humorous track to make an analogy, whilst sending a
jab towards the already somewhat comic display of
highly divergent opinions in the discussions. You have
to admit it had gotten to be fun to watch. The worse
part is that it is a bad idea, bad one that has
already been used in "high-tech" (at least not for its
day) applications with mixed results. Look back a
couple of posts and you will see my chime for trying
most anything new to see if it works.
