JOKE?  Which?

Are you serious?

One of the cornerstones of science is substantiation of hunches or other
vague thoughts.  Clearly, you demonstrate remarkable ability to jump to
conclusions without any proof.  I would recommend that you post such rubbish
elsewhere in order not to drag sci.electronics to the low level that
is consistent with your posting.

By the way, I ordinarily do not get too serious about anything posted on
this or any other networks.  However, you are crossing the bounds of what
is tolerable.  Newsgroups you should try instead include alt.flame.  There,
you do not need to be concerned with thinking.

Finally, if you are going to attempt to discourse the topic concerning
American research, then you had better be prepared with facts or you
will be torn to pieces.  Sci.electronics is not the forum to deal with this.

That is all.
