This refers back to a Wednesday message that SaltyChief sent to Susan to
illustrate that she should try some engine designs that conventional wisdom
would suggest would not work.
Then the whole thing degenerated into a discussion of whether this "too
heavy" idea was an urban myth or not.
Which, says the List Mom, is why we sometimes need think: is this message
entirely on topic? Is this something that someone reading the digest might
not understand (since we're not all in the "interactive" mode)?
