And by the way, I am really pleased that my musings cause you to ``gag``. I didn`t know I had that effect on anyone but knowing its you ``makes my day``

Sorry, Frank, you`ll have to find another way to get your rocks off today. I didn`t say your post made me gag. I said all the ``all this swooning over Frank`s report`` made me gag. I mean ya gotta admit, they were really over the top.

``Hero`` they said ... heroes run into burning buildings when others run out. ``Genius`` they said ... A genius might add another decimal place to Pi, or write music that makes us feel something, or figure out how some basic component of the universe works. ``Sweetheart`` they said ... well, suffice it to say what my sweetheart does for me is nothing like what you do for this board.

Frank, you went someplace nearby, you talked to somebody and you reported, unwisely I think, some small amount of what was said. Although I am also very very anxious for some good news, I think the gross overreactions indicate how desperate the followers of edig are for something positive. Chimera, mirage, exaggeration or falsification, it doesn`t matter, so long as it is positive some of them will get all giddy.

Some others have a longer memory. Count me among them.
