   I had originally held Earl's posting for further review, but in   
   the end decided it was marginally inside the acceptable range.   
      
   Part of that decision was that there is a factual component to   
   Earl's post, that Andrew has not in fact posted actual dimentions   
   to the engines he is proposing and has stated that he hasn't   
   even completely worked them out.  That is not directly relevant   
   to this particular topic, and Earl is not being entirely polite   
   about pointing it out, but it's a valid technical commentary.   
      
   In the future I will probably ask people to rephrase posts   
   that are that far into the grey area even if they do include a   
   valid technical comment.  The "lazy" comment was not necessary   
   and did not contribute to a positive discussion here.
