   AUE has a similar couple of characters but they ain't leaving, one is   
   desperately pushing a 'new' physics that denies relativity, and how his   
   free energy reactionless railgun can save the planet, as he alone is a   
   genius, being oppressed by all those mainstream scientists (note this is   
   an English Usage NG, not a weird science NG).   
      
   Also a plain antisemitic racist, but just about everyone but 1 or 2   
   numpties have them KF'd.   
      
   There was also an extremely hair-triggered fowl-mouthed poster but he died.   
      
   But mostly 'we' lose the informative/funny posters. Such is life's great   
   tapestry.   
      
      
   NB afca/aue xpost. Just for Sam.

   Bah, and indeed Humbug.
