Walter:

I thought you were just playing on a bit with my joke... I am sorry...
Let me explain, Reg made reference to the venerable "Jones Chart" in a
previous post in this thread--it was too temping a joke to leave alone
and I picked up upon it--I make no real claim my father had any hand in
the creation of the smith chart--again, I am sorry, but I thought you
just playing along--to tell you the truth, I am still not absolutely
sure you are not--you still might be... grin

(the only hand my father played in all this was to teach me, "Take it
like a man son!!! ... and blame it on a Brit!!! ... poor Reg... grin)
Warmest regards,
John

John, are you telling us that Phillip H. Smith was your Father?

Hi Walt,

I'm sorry to have the distinction of telling you that you have now
twice tried to bite at air in two postings to the same thread.
[Outlook Express is a jinx for you to use!]

There is no "John Smith" corresponding to this group. Brett uses
this
"handle" for whatever reason, but certainly not because he thinks
that
his veil is impenetrable.

Holy Cow, Richard, you've just diagnosed the pain in my jaw. Silly me.
I guess that means that the 'John Smith' we're corresponding with came
over on the Mayflower.
