However I must apologize for causing it. Obviously my post to the
thread "Origin of female", which involved unbelievably graphic
depictions of the details of the difference between male and female,
was too much for the UseNet censors and they had to shut down the
entire enterprise.

No, no. It was my fault. My new irony meter design with a Wheatstone
bridge constructed of Zener diodes had a positive feedback loop
shunted to the mind ray helmet. I used the wrong brand of aluminum
foil.

Zener diodes? Wheatstone bridge?

How old are you anyway?

I remember rheostats.

Ah, but do you remember the difference between a rheostat
and a potentiometer (the resistive sort, not the measuring
device)?
