The Progress of Discontent
by T. Warton
(Written at Oxford in 1746)
From the book
Half-hours With the Best Authors
The "Chandos Classics"
Edited by Charles Knight
Published by Frederick Warne and Co. 1890
Big Bertha Thing besides
Some people think that Big Bertha is less suitable for the
OUSA Astronomy Conf., than for OUSA Classical Particle Conf.
Have they heard the long name for CP Conf?
High Energy Particle Physics Rock Hard Science With a Fringe
Perspective.
They think that is a better place to put Big Bertha.
They must be besides themselves, which proves the thing.

Big Bertha Thing handcart
1. Gardening section of Daily Telegraph, on Saturday
17th November 2001, shows full front page spread
picture of pin-wheel rickshaw.
2. For another picture see;-
http://www.tonylance.talktalk.net/pinwheel.html
3. Both show load perfectly distributed.
4. Both are idealized pictures of a rickshaw that does
not exist.
5. A 19th century cheque-book journalist requested a
picture of an unnusual rickshaw, which was promised
for tomorrow.
6. A portrait painter, a landscape artist and a
cartoonist submitted quotes, which the cartoonist won.
7. A wheelborrow uses straight arm technology.
8. In common with a handcart, the so called pin-wheel
rickshaw, uses bent arm technology.
9. It is physically impossible and so unviable.
10. This is a scientific cartoon, some work, some don't.

Usenet simply doesn't work that way.
The MS NNTP server will close, and the web interface to that server
will be gone.
But the newsgroups can and will continue to be propagated on all the
other NNTP servers that carry them.
Now, it's possible for MS to issue a rmgroup command, but those are
so easily forged that most NNTP servers have been ignoring them for
eons, so it's unlikely that any effort MS makes to cleanse Usenet of
its public newsgroups will work.
I recently read that the "powers that be" are considering creating a
bunch of new MS newsgroups in the comp.* hieararchy to replace the
ms.public newsgroups, so keep your eyes open for that.
