    The difference between a sea story and a fairy tale is that the sea story
    always begins, "This is a no-shitter..." So I'm trying to figure out
    whether Ed's composting head posting is really a sea story minus the
    traditional prefix. ;^)

    Actually, I found Ed's posting very educational. It has been said say
    that much of what comes out of my computer is, well... excretory in
    quality. I wonder if retrofitting Ed's now surplus composting tank
    exhaust fan in my computer would result in a more useful output.

     Naah, its cleary a matter of garbage in, garbage out.
