Nutter admits he's a looney
You talk about it in our system and, frankly, people do think you're a nutter. I mean … you may go off and sit in the corner and … commune with the man upstairs and then come back and say 'right, I've been told the answer and that's it'. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/11/25/nblair125.xmlDCMP=EMC-new_25112007 -- William T Goodall Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web : http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk Blog : http://radio.weblogs.com/0111221/ There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share.

I look forward to their contributions, debunkage, etc. Anyone else reminded of Douglas Adams? There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another which states that this has already happened.
