I promise never to try to be helpful about old net ramblings again. I tried to summarize this thing so it could meet a merciful end, and what happens? (1) I get mail about not phrasing the question correctly, (2) I get mail about forgetting the *real* answer--Freon. I suspect that the question expected the answer "glass" since these folk quizzes tend to be very superficial, and it's common folk knowledge (the truth is another matter) that glass is a liquid. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. *** *** JE MAINTIENDRAI ***** ***** ****** ****** 09 Jan 87 [20 Nivose An CXCV] ken perlow ***** ***** (312)979-8042 ** ** ** ** ihnp4!ihlpa!gadfly *** ***
