Of course, academics have been known to be mistaken in their application
of _evidence_ which they are presenting while trying to bolster (I was

For example:

It's amazing the crap I write when I'm tired. Thinking it through I

intended to bin it, but hit the wrong button and sent it before logging

I see, as usual that Thierry has his finger firmly on the pulse here and
is way ahead of most of us. When we discussed CD drivers at Eindhoven
last weekend we were suggesting that it be ported to the Qubide and that
