[Public-list] Fuel tanks

Tue Jul 25 11:50:42 PDT 2006

What, you don't think two well balanced people can't have a sword fight on a 
16 foot diameter water wheel that broke off it's axial and rolled a mile 
downhill to the sea?  Have to admit the second half was pretty much missing 
a plot.  Anyway, politics and perhaps movies not appropriate for the page so 
I go now.
