Not bad. Just too busy to spend much time on Usenet these days.

It's just a kooky redundancy like saying "wet water" or "cold ice."
Little Tommy just wanted to be sure we knew he was talking about light,
and not Gauge Bosons or neutrinos or something else.

Yeah, this hurricane season has the global warming kooks in full froth.
They see four hurricane hits on one state in one season as "proof" of
something or other. But since it also happened 118 years ago, long
before any alleged human caused global warming, I don't see any connection.

Well, in the good old days, people like them were locked up in insane
asylems. Wouldn't it be fun to put Twonky and Tommy in the same rubber
room and watch them froth away at each other?
