Hmmm, interesting...I'd like to believe in it, but I'm an agnostic.  Any
rich owners out there (Larry? <g>) want to buy us all new heater
installations and seal up half of them?  In another ten years we'd know for
sure, and in the meantime we'd all have new heaters... <WEG>

While I'm thinking of it, Frank would you come down and grease up my shift
linkage and inject some grease into the dry CV joint?  I'm getting a little
old for lying on the ground at 5F with the wind whistling by...but I know
you don't call this cold in Quebec, I learned it in the limerick.
