If you're asking for advice, rather than trolling, try a Google groups
search using
cats gardens group:uk.comp.sys.mac
and the first result listed, within the thread titled "Re: So farewell
then Ronnie RayGun..." will show a recent discussion on this topic.

How did you get your Dock in the bottom right, based on the picture.
Mine is central and I would like it like yours. The options in preferences

It doesn't look at all soapy to me. In fact I can't see any soap
anywhwere. Why did you say this was a soapy cat picture? Neither the cat
nor the picture seem to have anything at all to do with soap. I thought
it was a picture of a soapy cat, and then when I saw the cat wasn't
soapy I thought you must have meant that the picture was soapy, but
apparently not. You really need to be careful about describing your
pictures.

According to quantum theory I suppose you do *and* don't have a cat as
far as Simon is concerned until he actually observes you and the
cat/non cat and collapses the waveform. Of course then the cat would
probably be Schroedingers rather than yours.... ;-)

It must be those darn cheap Taiwanese flanges - they're always doing
that. I unwrapped one and found myself briefly in last Thursday.

Well you could get round the problem by replacing the neural gel pack,
rerouting power through the EPS conduit and emitting an inverse tachyon
pulse through the forward sensor array but, given Bellas offer of a
free rude saying, I think I'd go for the French Flange solution.

Wouldn't that just be a tachyon pulse?

It's a kind offer and I thank you, but the Taiwanese flanges are the
best compromise for me. They have good chrono-lock properties, seem to
be immune to the Morphail Effect, have a refreshingly low
vibration-interference number and are only let down by a small but
annoying lack of focus on occasion.
The French ones, on the other hand, give me wind.

But what's a bit of wind when you've got only 0.4 picoflaps of Affective
Particulacy influencing your ride (in average conditions), and a drag
coefficient that leaves the Taiwanese standing? And Morphail is not even
an issue with the French. When they make a flange that dissipates *all*
rheotronic buffeting, things will move on greatly, I grant you. But that
time has not arrived.

Bah, I say! He had not read the instructions properly, that is all.
Sausages, while arguably improving the inverse tetraflow, must only be

Oooh! A fiendish counter-opposition, if I may say so. But not so fast!
In your eagerness for bargain flanges, you forget that you yourself must
pass a test before they can be yours!
For the non-scientists amongst us, is that more or less drag than you'd
get from a seventies wing-collar?
