You guys need to get straightened out on your ponds.

There are two.  The big pond and the little pond.

I am on the right shore of the big pond.

You guys over there on the right shores of the little pond seem to
imagine that there is only one pond, and that the only people on the
other side of the little pond you know about are the ones on the left
shore of the little pond.

That is a little bit like imagining that the earth is flat or something.
We call it the Pacific Rim.


OTOH -- I have no defense for the inane methods of sizing paper in the
US.  Why they don't adopt the logical standards of ISO 216 I have no
idea.  Just for the record, I believe we should use ISO 8601 for time
standards and ISO 216 for paper standards.

Some of you Rightpondians are a little confused about some of those
issues as well.


There are a few lurking non-participants in these 'topic drifts' who
think the subject should be changed.

Bah humbug.  We don't need no steenkin' subject badges.
