Not at all, I dont have very high expectations from you. You dont have to know what you are talking about of course but I wondered if you'd had any experience or any reason to get involved with discussions on drape. And, I had to run off to a party last night but dont worry, I told all the guests about you and your guru and how you constantly pwn me on here.

I don't believe I ever said anything about the merits or demerits of drape. I said something about your state of mind. But reading comprehension has never been your strong suit.

You know, it's kind of touching, really. You're the only one here who calls Manton a guru or treats him like one. It's sweet.

Bacon is cured and smoked pork. In the U.S. pork bellies are used, Canadian bacon is made from the rib eye of boneless pork loin, and most European countries use the ham (thigh) or shoulder to make bacon.

Bacon is suprisingly versatile, especially in a SF context. Underrated as a matter of fact.
