Oh, Puh-leeeeze!!!!!
Is this pedantic attitude really necessary? I think Marc explained very
well why he thought the soviets clever and as far as I read, it had nothing
directly to do with politics.
Chris, if you want to drag a soapbox into my mail box then at least
make sure it's of sturdy construction and somewhat relevant to the thread.
Thank you,

to scream about it)
