Topic: How close are we to a crash-proof car?

other way around - the theory predicts the particle. Oh and its Boson.

Thank you Sam.  That's the last time I attempt humour on this forum.

We need smilies, Gill.    I had no idea your post was humourous - it went straight over my head! 

[Rik]

Well, let's be honest, there's not a lot of hair to stop it.

Thank you Sam.  That's the last time I attempt humour on this forum.

Didn't sound humorous in the slightest to me. Sorry, but I have lots of friends who are killing themselves working on this project, I don't like to think their efforts are taken so lightly.  Also I find it very hard to let possible misunderstandings of physics sit there on a public domain.

Remember your own impatience with others the next time you are corrected.  If only you knew how many of your grammatically erroneous posts have tempted me to detail corrections.  However, I do not believe that such actions benefit a forum, so I simply accept that we all have our weak points.

Goodbye, everyone.  It used to be fun.  I have certainly been helped by people here in the past and I would like to think that I have made a positive contribution too.

[Simon]

You certainly have, Gill.  I'm not sure I understand what the problem is here.  Haven't we all made posts on occasions that people haven't "got", or have fallen a bit flat?  I'm sure Sam meant no offence in offering a correction on what he took to be a factual post, or at least, one where I think the intended humour passed us all by.  It would be a shame to lose you over this. 

[Clive]

It would indeed be a shamed to lose you over such a seemingly trivial matter Gill.  I'm certain that Sam did not intend to cause offence. 

[Rodders]

Gill, come back or the puppy gets it.

[Rik]

 

Stay, Gill, you're the only one who can argue with Sam.

Impatience? What - a line of explanation? Sorry next time I'll write an essay on the subject.

Thanks for the posts.
