Beats me.

Oh, and just for the kicks of volleying the topic in a completely new direction (I'm a big ping-pong freak ), I'm suddenly reminded of the list of classic bumper sticker messages. My favorite is "Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup," followed by "save the whales; collect the whole set." Input?

I love it when old fivers suddenly become relevant to current conversations. That Spock is net-saavy, all right.

...Nate, not to impugn your successful reference-catch, but how carefully did you look at my post?

I like Felicity. Funny stuff.

And, you know, what he said.

Did your link look like that before?

So I missed something painfully obvious. Wasn't the first time and won't be the last. I'm absentminded and have had my share of painful experiences to teach me to come to grips with the fact. That's life.

So, a year has passed. Any new thoughts on this topic? I still agree that Corbomite Maneuver might have a strong claim on the title.
