Well it was just that I was admitting to playing hookey, rather than diligently working on the post that I had promised.

The tone of my post was way out of line. Sorry.

It's just that you used the same expression twice in an earlier article and I lost it for a second.

It certainly is a very relaxed style. But if there is no intent to reach a wide main stream audience, not a problem.

For the record, I'm not to be taken seriously. (As if there was any danger of that).

No worries - the grins in the earlier post were because I was confessing to having deliberately been a little obscure with my first post. But, having spoken in public in front of audiences of all sizes and for many reasons I have developed a style that works for me. And yes, in my other life, I do, on occasion, interface with a main stream audience. But I'm glad you're here. Enjoy the debate!

Ugh!! Blush. Very magnanimous of you. Thanks. It's been one of those days. :-)

It is probably the same grin I get when I think of MagLev trains that were going to 'revolutionize' transportation when super-conductor magnets made frictionless mass transit obsequitous. Hopefully there will be some solution that won't end up being more than a back issue of Popular Science. :-)

Speaking of the maglev, I wonder how many people remember its predecessor, the Aerotrain...

I thought it was great. Much more economical. Not sure why the aerotrain was abandoned for the maglev. I guess politicians like to fund pie-in-the-sky technologies instead of something simple.
