Oh, I dunno; we had one experimenter who performed some
interesting experiments with Fe-57, demonstrating that
gamma ray absorption was interfered with by the simple
expedient of setting the block in motion. :-)
Rather sensitive, that test.
And Uncle Al's making diamonds. Unlike tj frazer, who
seems to think that everyone's interested in his boat,
Uncle Al appears to at least have half a clue. (The other
half is my fault; I can't understand it! :-) But I'm not
sure I'd want to get anywhere near that "devil's solvent"
he's using, whatever it is.)
There's hope for Usenet. I'm not sure how much.

I've noticed that too, admittedly. I can't say I've
paid that much attention, though.
