 ML>> project was supported. I haven't heard anything in a couple
 ML>> weeks, so I figure I was quietly dropped from the group
 ML>> without any kind of fuss.
 NB>> Maybe... should there have been more meetings in the meantime...?
 ML> No, e-mails. And, sadly, I have since gotten some e-mails
 ML> from that group, so maybe I have to actually put my foot
 ML> down and tell them to buzz off. Sad, because the chairman
 ML> reminds me of the sainted Mike Kalina, see previous threads,
 ML> and I don't want to show him up.

A little ambivalence there...  ;)  No minority reports that could salve
your conscience...?

 ML>> Anyhow, I wouldn't buy a 1.45 oz bar - too tiny by a good margin.
 NB>> Oh, ok... then you'd probably get sufficient for the day...  ;)
 ML> There were studies done in the late '90s early '00s that
 ML> indicated that rats lived quite a bit longer when forced
 ML> to fast one or two days a week. Of course, the standard
 ML> objection to that idea was that very few of us are rats.

Indeed.  And living longer, for what...?  More experimentation...

 ML>> It has been hypothesized that there's a Gresham's law of
 ML>> information as well of currency. If that's largely or even
 ML>> somewhat true, we're doomed.
 NB>> oh, well......
 ML> Until the airplanes start falling out of the sky because
 ML> of engineering or operational stupidity, I won't be too
 ML> much affected anyway, though on the fledgling Internet I
 ML> was quite well respected, and nowadays, given much the
 ML> same stance and the same beliefs, I am considered a marginal
 ML> loony. Their loss.
 
Indeed.

 NB>> What I was given to understand by certain persons in the admissions
 NB>> office of Princeton, that sort of lack of continuity of study was not
 NB>> only expected, but to some degree, encouraged
 ML> Quoth Francis Bacon (about travel, but travel is part of education) -
 ML> Let him not stay long in one city or town, more or less as the place 
 ML> deserveth, but not long. When he stayeth in one city or town, let him 
 ML> change his lodging from one end and part of the town to another, 
 ML> which is a great adamant of acquaintance.

From your travel reports, it would appear that you follow his advice
well...  ;)
