Austin, Tx Lines: 22 --------- Can it have escaped everyone's notice that Kelvin Thompson is a transposition of William Thompson, Lord Kelvin? Best known for the invention of the Kelvin scale of temperature, he is also the inventor of one of the first analog computers (for predicting the tide). Obviously, "Kelvin Thompson" is a pseudonym under which someone is posting controversial reviews in hopes of eliciting outraged responses. It appears that he has succeeded. I am amazed and amused that otherwise rational people cannot perceive such deception without explicit cues (i.e. no "smiley faces"). Come on people, the "rules" are not sacrosanct. Show a little common sense. -- Motorola Semiconductor Inc. Hunter Scales Austin, Texas {ihnp4,seismo,ctvax,gatech}!ut-sally!oakhill!hunter (I am responsible for me and my dog and no-one else)
