I loved "Get Smart," and this idea is a real stroke of genius. Lee R. Eklund is to be congratulated for a workable variation of the proposed amendment to the St. Paul ordinance that we could also adopt here in Minneapolis. Lowering these cones would not be much different than the suction devices that automotive repair facilities must have to hook up to the exaust systems of automobiles with engines running. And they are multipurpose considering: flatulance, excessive perfume, extreme body odors, and countless other olefactory annoyances. And the problem of providing access to servers can be dealt with through inclusion of an airlock/dumbwaiter on the sides. With local fabrication it would also boost the economy. I never doubted that the boob tube would eventually be of some positive use to society besides entertainment and baby sitting. Mr. Eklund was inspired to a wonderful solution and I will never bad mouth the tube again. REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
