You beat me to it, David. I was going to post that one to my blog!

It's fastest finger first around here.

Lurkers! They're everywhere, goddam them.

I think that I could be described as a "lurker" but hopefully one day, by "lurking", I may too become "smart" - or doesn't it work that way?

David J. Betz said...

You were smart when you showed up Pip! As for lurking, I'm struggling to think of someone who has lurked LESS than you. I rather suspect you've read and contributed more in the last year than I have.

I am reminded of an earlier discussion about quantity having a quality all of its own.

David J. Betz said...

Yes, I recall the words you used were 'feel the width.'

We were discussing atomic power I think. 'Never mind the quality...'. I wonder how well this fits with NK and their less-than-credible testing of late. 'Never mind the credibility...'. After all, depending on your agenda, one nuke's as good as another. What the pop seem to not realise is that a weapon is only a weapon when it comes as part of a technology, means and intent package. WMD anyone?
