I think as a T21 member you are all failing to acknowledge the point of the post, clearly the postee has found something that has caught his/her attention and is clearly trying to share his/her thoughts with the group, I therefore feel as fellow members we should share his/her post and discuss it like adults, not as all above try to copy quotes mentioned in afore-mentioned statement. I propose a newsgroup. Anybody interested should contact me.

Jeez. I go away on holiday for a week and come back to find discussions like this going on... What has this got to do with tangents? Or with anything, come to that?
Could the staff please shut this thread down before any more bandwidth is wasted by people posting to it.

I sincerely believe that a light bulb discussion group needs to be founded, i mean there are manytypes of light bulb, ranging from 5 watt to 100 watt and not forgetting the twilght baby lite bulbs that are made by the wonderfull firm called phillips, i say that the sci fi world cup should be scrapped and replaced with the lite bulb world cup !!!!!!!
