Well, it hasn't been a good day for Airy.
He has taken a serious pasting in uk.rec.models.engineering in two threads. One related to gears- crowned with the technical explanation that the concept of power as a rate of doing work is meaningless in clocks. The other thread on a legal matter. Remarkable, great minds have studied the mystery of the uniververse and time for decades and all along Airy had the answer.
On uk.radio.amateur he seems to have got into a right state all by himself.
He has taken offence at comments that don't seem to have been directed at him and got into a right old lather. Is this just paranonia or a guilty secret?
What for tomorrow's exciting developments. What will Airy confess to next?
