This is *so odd* - it's like trying to describe how an antenna works,
yet getting bogged down by people that refuse to believe that we can
extrude aluminum, that the government would allow people to talk over
wireless connections, and besides, it is impossible for
electromagfetic waves to travel through the air anyway.


It's not *odd* at all, Mike.

It's "The RRAP Way"

A line from an old Cosby skit comes to mind, imperfectly remembered, but
goes something like this:

"And there were these cavemen sitting in their
caves watching their kerosene powered TV's
by candlelight, muttering "They ain't never
gonna invent *radios*"'

Or the admonishment of Bokonon, from KVG's "Cat's Cradle"

"Beware of the man who works hard to learn
something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser
than before. He is full of murderous resentment
of people who are ignorant without having come
by their ignorance the hard way."

I'm not into baloons, but I admire the spriit of your project. Good
luck to you.
