Here's a nice thought to possibly leave the subject on:

The Wright Flyer and a MacCready MPA hang side by side at the
Smithsonian Air and Space Museum- the most popular museum in the

Thank you, Gary, for a lucid, thought-provoking editorial. And
thank you, mm, for an equally well-reasoned and well-presented
opposing view.

A pleasure to read both opinions.

Would that the newsgroup be ever so.
