[lore] A hard one...

[David Basden]

Hi everyone,

Could someone read over this to check for appropriate spelling, grammar
and correct physics?

Ta,

Dear Throw Away,

The situation you are in certainly seems to be a jittery one. Not only
are there considerations of etiquette, but also of physics.

Not a day goes by where I see some young upstart talk of this 
"Synchronous" Digital Hierarchy standard that seems to be spread around
like the word 'paradigm'. What these whipper-snappers are obviously
forgetting is the limit of the speed of light. Until the theory of 
Special Relativity has been proven incorrect on this point, I will 
continue to advise any fledging engineers who insist on bandying about
the word 'synchronous' to read a dictionary, along with any primary 
school Physics textbook not published in Kansas.

As for your question on the correct use of cutlery, I suggest that you 
consult any etiquette book written by Richard Feynman.

Without Prejudice,


Dr A.C.C. Murphy

P.S. Please be assured that the restraining order to be served upon
you shortly is merely a formality reserved for only my most die-hard fans.
